My HOL liner notes say "Garby Zangerl", but that's probably a
typo--looks like your spelling is probably the correct one. Actually, I
had always assumed it was a processed voice of Kate's. There are all
those credits on the lines notes, but it's not at all clear what they
do.

BTW I have a LP verison of HOL that has the one additional line--"And a
big woof for Bonnie and Clyde". Any idea what that's all about?
