Album Notes

Fat Pigeon is a duo. We do not rehearse, and we often play songs we don't know on instruments we can't play. This album is no exception. It was produced with a lot of love and affection, but a minimal amount of skill. We hope it finds a special place in your loins.

With PDG33BFS, all we had to go on was one part of a book of Bohemian Folk Duets for guitar (student and teacher - we only had the student part). Most of these songs were done in one take. Sometimes fewer.

Here And There: Featuring Pigeon Pete on Jew's Harp, and guest artist Pigeon Jess on tambourine
I Have Black Horses: Featuring Alexander Pigeon on trumpet
Oh Love Love: Alexander Pigeon's sensitive banjo playing will tug at your heartstrings
Hey-ho Geese: Pigeon Pete demonstrates his kazoo prowess
Here Comes The Postman: The Postman, of course, is an integral part of Czech culture
The Girl With The Blue Eyes: Care was taken to ensure the Stylophone was not quite tuned.
It's Raining It's Raining It's Pouring: Off our beaks on cheap Czechoslovakian speed. Forthcoming single
Look After Me Mother Dear: Featuring real diseases
Young Girls Walking Along The Road: Gaily on their way to the sweet shop, probably, or to buy some Rawlplugs
Andulichko, Hello: Even we have trouble listening to this one
The Moon Is Shining: The sheet music indicated this should be "Played with thumbs", so we did. No fingers were involved in the making of this track

The Little Red Rose: Pigeon Pete on trombone, with Alexander Pigeon on upside down guitar
Around Trebon: Book now to avoid disappointment
The Shepherdess: *COMMENT REMOVED ON ADVICE OF OUR LAWYERS*

When I Took The Geese To The Pasture: The classic livestock powerballad
The Pipes Were Playing At Pobuda: for Eb alto sax and Bb trumpet
Hey, My Battle Axe: For those about to coo, we salute you
On The Squire's Meadow: There was no electricity in the meadow, so we couldn't plug our instruments in
Shepherds, You Rascals: Featuring an Erhu (Chinese violin) which we think may actually have been meant for ornamental rather than musical purposes
Sleep, My Angel: Why won't you sleep? Sleep, damn you!
Little John, You Are Naughty: One of those happy occasions when Czech, Slovak and English work together in perfect harmony
In The Open Field: Again, the Erhu; with the sound of distant drums. And a frog.
The Gosling's Flight: Fat Pigeon feels the need for speed. Possibly the cheap Czechoslovakian speed we bought before recording track 7
The Black Fleece On The White Sheep: A powerful comment on racism amongst livestock
Anichka My Sweet: Featuring genuine sugar.
I Love You Dearest John: Pigeon Pete speaks to you through Alexander's Trumpet
My Love Took A Peacock To The Pasture: NB - never under any circumstances take your peacock to the same pasture as the geese. Don't say we didn't warn you.
You Wait, I'll Tell: Translates from the original as "Wait - I'll Tell You"
When I Sowed Wheat: That's real wheat you're listening to there, folks.
Whose Are These Geese: Fat Pigeon answers all the important questions.
