Songs of the Green Lama
The Green Lama was a pulp hero that first appeared in the April 1940 issue of Double Detective magazine. He stood out from other heroes in that he was a Buddhist lama. I chose a variety of songs for this. Benny Goodman seemed a good fit in that it is from the time period of the pulps. I wanted to use "Bein' Green", I knew Kermit's original version and my dad had a Ray Charles album with it . When I found Sinatra had covered it, I had to include it. Diaba$e's album Baker's Dozen uses a clip from the Green Lama radio show at the beginning of a few songs. I concluded the album with the first radio show of the Green Lama.
