And certainly better than Roosso can sing (or yodel)!   NO Doubt about it!!

ANYTHING to discourage Roosso from attempting to sing is doing more good than harm, IMHO.

And don't forget Earl, Jason -

Anyway guys, the next time you're feeling really brave - or after a sufficient quantity of Arrogant Bastard Ale or Chromo Crude Triple Chocolate Stout - several years ago Roosso wrote some lyrics about an event on the 1975-76 Freedom Train (keeping this thread more-or-less on track) that would be really appropriate for Tuba and/or Trombone accompaniment (if you don't object to standing in for some diseasel air horns, that is).   See [ngdiscussion.net] ...
