Ted's new album, the Mellotron, and 'Ted Head' shirts

Post-song banter about the Christmas-tree sleeping tradition, then Ted describes his brand-new fifth album (self-titled 'Ted Yoder'): he sent his hammer-dulcimer tracks to a producer who added world-class session players for free creative rein. He explains what a Mellotron is (a keyboard playing tape-recorded sounds per key, used by the Beatles on 'Norwegian Wood' and 'Here Comes the Sun'), discusses the one original song 'Whispers in the Trees' entered in a songwriting competition, and jokes about his 'Ted Head' caricature-face T-shirts.
