Re: What makes a songwriter "square" ...

Gracias, Señor Stabler (y señor Skonk) -

I greatly appreciate your encouragement and moral support, and to show my gratitude I
hereby grant you permission to perform the above copyrighted work royalty-free when-
ever you have the opportunity (and courage).  Here are a couple more rough versions of
verses, not necessarily in the order into which they should be added to the original:

"In sixty-eight   there was a Mad Dash
"With no Foamers   at the Whip Lash
"But there WAS   One at Monero*
"And the photos   that he took there   are Primero !"

*****

"Everything   is looking nifty
"Painted up   like Nineteen-Fifty
"Then a Phrauder**   shouts, "we're screwed!"
"As the vinyl   tender letters   come unglued!!"

"The sound recorders   are all whirring
"The whistle echoes   truly stirring
"When a railfan   screams, "God Bless Us -
"There's a Wild-Eyed Foamer   trying to sing   'Festus'!!"

"Take  me  home,   oh Papacito!
"Take  me  home,   from Antonito ... "

Good Luck, Ed - ignore the comments of that curmudgeon Roosso, and please feel free to add verses of
your own, or to modify the earlier ones as necessary to achieve a proper "railroady" rhythm and feel.

- Sincerely, Willie  (Wm. Claude Johnson-Barr III, Esq.)  
          "Not All With A Cell-Phone Can Twitter
          "Not All Those Who Ponder Can Think ... "
