I haven't and I do.

Awwww you guys are so cute :-)

Johnny D - Yes, they are. Merry Mari D - Well, I WANTED to vote on this, but I'm REALLY confused about which song goes with it. I think I probably don't know EITHER one (is that possible? maybe). However, it did remind me of our Christmas party yesterday (Well, Tuesday, whatever day that is now). My friend Larry and I did a parody of "Wichita Lineman". Unfortunately we weren't able to practice it together before hand (long story) and he was doing his off of, get this, the JOHNNY CASH version and I was using GLEN CAMPBELL'S. But everyone liked it anyway, probably because we had enough guts or lack of common sense to provide entertainment for them inspite of ourselves. They really liked "The Morons and Lilian" and "Litter Green", although I cannot get through the middle of the 2nd verse on that without starting to crack up. Once I do that I invariably lapse back into Lightfoot's original "Bitter Green", since I've probably heard that a couple hundred times. But it was fun. Jeez, it's late. Gotta go. Later.

That's the whole point -- to have fun! It really comes across. The parody goes with the Van Morrison version. You can imagine how confusing it was when that keyboard player and I tried to play it, since you and your buddy did something similar. And Rick and I are looking forward to accompanying Leah L. on one of hers sometime soon. We heard her sing and yes, she can! Didn't Cat Stevens do "Bitter Blue"? That must have been SOME party! Jeez, it IS late!

I think I'm listening to this with the wrong version... but since it's a random cover I can't remember which is which...

Mari D - Hi! just dropped in to the office for a few minutes to pring a few lyrics and look at comments. I meant to answer this one back whenever it was I saw it. Let's see, what was I going to answer? OH, yeah, "Bitter Blue" ? I think maybe Cat Stevens but that's a song of a different color than what I was talking about. "Bitter Green" is definitely Gordon Lightfoot's from back when he (any many of us) was still young. About a lovelorn young miss wandering the hills around her town waiting in vain for the return of her long-lost love. Very pretty, pretty sappy. But I love how it sounds and it made a great cat-box parody I think. Today she'd be hangin' out with her buds and rippin' the dude for how LAME he was, etc., or just moving on. Times change. OH, yeah, in the song he DOES come back but SHE's passed away (probably from abject sorrow and loneliness) in the interim. Come to think of it, I'm sure the cat-box parody is a better use of this song. Well, I just came in to check comments and stuff and promises myself I would not be here 3 or 4 hours. It's at 30 minutes now. At least I'm checking. Later.
