Trick question! There is one Weird Al song featuring a glockenspiel, The Night Santa Went Crazy, but it was Tom Lyons who played the glock, not Al!Name one song that Al plays glockenspiel on.

Re: Won't Eat Prunes Again
Gotta side with JohnnyLurg on this. I think Al's friend Joe Earley plays Jew's Harp on this, and it almost has to be an intentional reference to the Who.
I couldn't tell a dirt clod from a plate of caviar.

The Cal Poly version of Won't Eat Prunes Again is beautiful.

Re: Won't Eat Prunes Again
No, it was one of his weekly coffee house performances. The only known recordings of coffee house performances are that song, "Beverly Hillbillies/Miss You", his cover of "The Elements" (Which only has a snippet leaked), and "Belvedere Cruising '78". I don't know what other songs he played at Cal Poly live, or if there are any other recordings.JohnnyLurg wrote:Was it recorded in the same bathroom as "My Bologna?"Eyeball Chair wrote:The Cal Poly version of Won't Eat Prunes Again is beautiful.

Re: Won't Eat Prunes Again
I actually am in contact with a former roommate and fellow KCPR DJ of Weird Al's who just this week mailed me recordings of some rare Weird Al performances at Cal Poly coffeehouses (as well as the entirety of the SLO Grown LP digitized!) and I will let you know right away if he sent me anything unknown to the general public.

How in the heck did you convince him to send you such things? That's pretty cool.JohnnyLurg wrote:I actually am in contact with a former roommate and fellow KCPR DJ of Weird Al's who just this week mailed me recordings of some rare Weird Al performances at Cal Poly coffeehouses (as well as the entirety of the SLO Grown LP digitized!) and I will let you know right away if he sent me anything unknown to the general public.

Re: Won't Eat Prunes Again
I convinced him because I told him that I'm compiling a Weird Al archive for Cal Poly's library. Which I am.

Re: Won't Eat Prunes Again
That's pretty cool! I know you cannot share those here, but I'd be interested in checking those out as well.
However, since we're talking about the Cal Poly version of Won't Eat Prunes Again, I stumbled upon it on YouTube, which can be heard here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjWOHtmdT7E&feature=plcp" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
If you listen closely, there's a mouth harp, and some bongos. The audio quality is pretty good, considering the age of this recording.
