The first day I arrived in Sri Lanka I checked in at an odd looking hotel, an Islamic Holiday Inn.

White Elephants is a program produced by Joe Frank for NPR in 1980.

It was rediscovered and released on Joefrank.com in 2020.

This show begins with Joe's Sri Lanka material from A Landing Strip In The Jungle
Then turns to the ruined suburban family material from Stories For Nothing
Then returns to Joe traveling in Sri Lanka from A Landing Strip In The Jungle
A young man walking in the woods with his friends, all stoned, sees arrows whistling past.
Beggars in Tibet and Nepal.
An alternative high school in Somerville, Massachusetts.
A private tour of a cathedral.

This is an incomplete record of the music in this program. If you can add more information, please do.
