Oh yeah, that's good.

[cadhla]

Thaaaaaaaaaaaank you.

[elucreh]

Ooooo...I love this, and--I really have no very clear idea why.

[cadhla]

I love it, too, so yay!

[caprine]

Wow! That is so cool!

Are you familiar with the Dave Carter and Tracy Grammer album Tanglewood Tree? Because this has a haunting resonance with one of the songs on it:Crocodile Man
©2000, Dave Carter/Dave Carter Music (BMI)

mama she raised me on riddles and trances
fatback, channel-cat, lily-white lies
rocked my cradle in a jimmy-crack fancy
never knew papa and i never asked why

well, now, people say papa wasn't no-account anyway
people say papa was a rollin' stone
well i turned twenty on the waccamaw throughway
hitching up river in the dark alonesleepin' with a stranger in a no-name town
thanksgiving dinner at the top hat lounge
christmas eve at the fantasy tan
lord have mercy on the crocodile man
lord have mercy on the crocodile man
hooked up with a carny little outta memphis

I love Dave and Tracy, actually -- we'll be covering one of their songs in Maryland. And being compared to Dave Carter, lyrically, is a huge compliment.

Wow; this series just keeps getting better....

[cadhla]

Series?

[stevemb]

Er, series of posted lyrics.

[cadhla]

Ah!

I have to do some much more time-sensitive recording, stat, but after that's done, I can try.
