Library

Welcome to the Library. Here you'll find links to information about subjects that have been mentioned in the songs of C.W. McCall, arranged in some sort of order. We’re not sure what that order is, though. It's definitely not Dewey Decimal.

Caution: except for pages on this web site, none of these links can be guaranteed to be available. If you do encounter a dead or incorrect link, please report it to the head librarian. All links were checked on 2010 January 29.
