0033 Radio Garbanzo ID plus PO Box 452 Wellsville NY address. Me thinks a vintage recording as my memory (dangerous) recalls this as a drop box from the 1980s. Also from a period when SW Pirates had skits along with tunes.

SINPO=45454

107- Slow folk ballad with OM vocal, but can't ID.
109- OM with deep pirate voice, over music, "No, no, no, no! Oh boy, we got some madness down here, in the pirate studio, don't ya know!" Followed by cows mooing and then gunshots, followed by siren.
110- Audio clips with two voices, one OM and one high pitched: "can't take off," and "fire the gun" repeating.
111- OM back on the mic, but audio a little muffled now. Chuckling here and there. Loud noise in background, maybe data? He comments on program opening up really slowly.
