Oh! Oh! Oh!
Thanks, Vince. This reminds me, there's an obscure song -- a hit, of sorts,
in its time -- by Noel Harrison from the late 60s called "A Young Girl." The
last words of the song are:
"A young girl
A young girl of sixteen
Child of springtime, so free
Lying here by the road . . . dead"
The song begins,
"She left her neighborhood in which
Everyone was filthy rich
She left her parents' home and strayed
With a vagabond who made
Vows of love she'd never heard
And she believed his every word"
How odd you made me think of a Noel Harrison song when I just made reference
to him with "MacArthur Park" (he did, after all, have the first hit with that
song) in the Muller thread that's going on now. {And which I have been
dragged into and had my good name sullied! Or was it murphied?)}
How do I remember this shit? And where are the keys to my truck?
Take care,
--Bob
