(George Francis Maida, WCVE, Richmond, Virginia) Reviews

  • Listen eBay-o (eBayo)

Sue Trainor is famous (infamous?) for her parodies. In this (mostly) live recording, Sue is joined on lead and harmony vocals by fellow Soupers Christina Muir and Jennifer Camp, and by Eric Camp on bass and Jim Brink on percussion. Jim also plays the roles of the eBay auction bidders, competing via their computer keyboards for a trip to Club Havana. That and a conga track are overdubbed. The performance was recorded and mastered by Flawn Williams, Technical Director of NPR's "Performance Today."
You can download eBay-o here in MP3 format. The complete song is available in both CD quality and FM quality. A 30-second FM-quality clip is also available. Download times (which are approximate) are given for 56Kbps modems.
