December 26, 2023: Lil' Markie Goes To Sugartown
The late Mark Fox (July 21, 1955 - November 11, 2016) recorded a series of stories featuring his Lil' Markie character called The Adventures Of Lil Markie In Sugartown. Somehow, I was able to get the entire 8-tape boxed set for under 30 dollars, and today we will hear episodes 1-6.

Listener comments!
	12:53pm Mr Fab: Happy Boxing Day, all! (Left jab, right hook) This looks to be quite the epic. Li’l Markie’s magnum opus.
	👻 12:59pm WR: Hi there. Something inspirational for the Twixmas? Have heard tracks of Lil' Markie here and there but usually without context or re-contextualized. Will be interesting to hear a full work. A quick web search and find little directly about Mark Fox. WFMU 2005 Beware of the Blog on Lil Markie: blog.wfmu.org...
	1:01pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Fearfully And Wonderfully Made (STUDIO VERSION)" ... "When I was made in secret" what an odd line. I guess that means sex?
	👻 1:07pm WR: ↳ Song: "Episode 1: Lil Markie's New Adventure" by "Lil' M... Wow, seems written a bit from personal insight.

	1:34pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Episode 2: Lil' Markie's Special Prayer" by "Lil'... Markie misses his candy.

	1:51pm Miss Mei: In 1999, a smaller boxed set series was released, each set contained 4 tapes instead of the 8 tape collection I have.
	1:52pm Miss Mei: You can get the 1999 repress, both volume 1 and 2, for 75 dollars on eBay now. I got my copy for really cheap. www.ebay.com...
