baster.jpg (18723 bytes)HEY FOLKIES...Turkey Day is one of our favorite holiday's.  Before you know it, you'll be snacking on deviled eggs and mixed nuts while the aroma of roasting turkey with all the fixings wafts through the house, tantalizing you for hours before it's finally time to sit down to eat.  What better way to pass the time than with some homespun music.  And, what better sounds to hunger to than the melodious tones of the turkey baster.  That's right, turkey baster music.  It's easy.  Anyone can play the baster.  That's why it's fast becoming a nationwide trend.  And it all got started because some whacky Folk Shop regular named James (oops, that's me!) wrote a silly book.

Want to get in on this new Thanksgiving tradition?  Then "The Musical Baster" is the book for you.  It's available only through The Folk Shop.  It will teach you everything you need to know to become a baster virtuoso.  You'll learn lots of interesting bastery facts too.  Like the legend of Antonio di Basterini, and secrets of the International Baster Maker's Guild.  Why there's even a chapter on advanced playing techniques like turkey lipping and the jiggle.  Don't wait!  Visit The Folk Shop today to see the latest of our procurements and to pick up a copy of the "Musical Baster" in time for Thanksgiving.

For out-of-towners, please send a check, money order, or use Paypal.  Don't forget your address, and how many copies you need.
