Terry, Wow, another John Prine fan? "Daddy won't you take me out to (something) county, by the (some kind of) water where Paradise lay" "Sorry my son, you're too late in asking, Mr. Peabody's coal trucks done hauled it away." I sent a copy of that one to Dan Roling, my old Waddell & Reed CFA Exam study inmate and colleague who now follows coal companies for the Great Satan brokerage firm on Wall Street. <g>
I love Prine's songs. "Dear Abby" is the all time best, but "Sweet Revenge," "Peaches," and "Saigon" sure deserve honorable mention among the hundreds in his song book. Heck, I even like the way the guy sings, though my dates tend to look at me when I play the vinyl as if to say "is that they way singers sounded back in your day?" <g> |
