Brief Sound Clip:

This tasty, bi-lingual excursion into the world of pies is on a new CD called Scat Like That from Rounder Records. Cathy and Marcy are in great form, playing a variety of musical word games that include an entire polka based on Pig Latin, and a blues number about a kid who is in time-out because the language (and the attitude) he (or she) is using is just a little too consonantal.
