Rose,
I had heard that as well many years ago, and she herself indicates it in
"Song for Sharon":
There's a gypsy down on Bleeker Street
I went in to see her as a kind of joke
And she lit a candle for my love luck
And eighteen bucks went up in smoke.
So I definitly think you're right on this one, Rose.Thanks for the
input---
Peace,
Megan :~)
