HOUR ONE: Dr. A.E. Monofilament
Published in one billion marionette medical journals, Dr. A.E. Monofilament successfully postulates that music and puppets make the world a better place. The Doctor’s origins have been disputed- some say they were born in the English countryside inspired by “Thunderbirds”, others have theorized the Doctor’s roots are in the American south.
HOUR TWO: Power of Ten with The Bread
Is Bob Baker Day your favorite day of the year, too? As BBMT approaches its milestone 10th annual Bob Baker Day, The Bread is here to guide you on a personally inspired musical tour through the unique behind-the-scenes lens of a puppeteer who’s been a part of this exponentially heartwarming experience since day number one!
The Bread (aka Ginger Duncan) has spent much of her BBMT career delving into the storied Bob Baker archives. The string puller behind the official Bob Baker Marionette Theater playlists and Green Witch’s antics, she is overjoyed to bring the brilliance of this waxy, wonderful, and rarely-heard record collection directly to you for your phonic enjoyment.
