33 tracks, listed on the back of the CD jewel-case label. Marcelonis died of AIDS in Philadelphia in 1995. This musical was "was a continual work in progress from High School until he was forty. His artist friends came together and performed the play to standing room only audiences, sold out for its run" (Wikipedia). The Wikipedia account of his life is touching. It is not easy to match song and fable just by reading titles and listening to tracks. Some of the more obvious connections are in "The Belly As an Animal"; "Earn Your Keep"; "We Want a King"; "The Heiffer and the Ox"; and "Death."
