This is great. We got three and I know more to come.
ReplyDeleteHaving three reminds me of Arlo Guthrie's "Alice's Restaurant": "And three people do it, three, can you imagine, three people walking in singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out. They may think it's an organization. And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day,I said fifty people a day walking in singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out. And friends they may thinks it's a movement. And that's what it is , the Alice's Restaurant Anti-Massacre Movement, and all you got to do to join is sing it the next time it come's around on the guitar. With feeling."
I feel frisky. I might have to upload another just because.
Alright---Today is May 1st and time for one randomly selected winner. First, thank you all for participating. Since it was so few on you, I want to reward everyone, so while the winner will receive the anthology, I want to do something special and fun for everyone.
