Crepitation Contest

[Frank Gentges]

Phil,

It was recorded in Canada in "Toronto in late 1940 at “Red” Foster’s 
Studios on Alcorn Avenue."  You can read this and more in the article 
with the sound file.  I like the picture.

I too hear some sort of distorted sound towards the end that seems to 
describe a common  word for "defecate".  The broadcast has, until this 
point, maintained a modicum of decorum and that word seems out of place.
