I have finally caught up on all those digests! so, i may be hogging a bit of bandwidth tonight! how long will this last? until the first digest of tomorrow arrives!! i'm one of those people that responds to something that was posted about three days ago, without ever checking if any progress has been made on that thread! lol, so if any of you new guys find that happening, don't worry!! it's natural!! in fact, i'd be worried if it didnt happen to me! WELCOME guys! well, to get to the point, slowly but surely as ever:-) i guess this is JC, but i'm not too sure if it *actually* qualifies. sorry if it bugs you, but i'm sure you'll love this as much as i did!! My good friend and drinks buddy Chris Marshall, from Cambridge in England of all wonderful places, took the time to schweh on over to cloudy Dublin last month to visit the city, and to say hi to me while he was here:-) and what can i say, but i'm a great host!! no seriously, we did havr a great time. well, at the end of january Chris sent me a wonderful, sweet email. and this is all done with Chris permission. the voice you will here next belongs to Chris Marshall (with me on backing vocals:-D ======= I'd been thinking of "parodying" Chelsea Morning since my 2nd or 3rd day in Dublin. So here it is: I changed things that would fit, but left other lines alone. I hope you like it! Woke up, it was a Dublin morning, and the first thing that I heard was the sound of church bells ringing, out of time and out of tune It came ringing up to hurt my ears and ripped straight through my hang-over Oh, can't I stay We'll put on the day And we'll wear it till the night comes Woke up, it was a Dublin morning, and the first things that I saw Were the wheel clamps on the parked cars, and the cleaner at my door Mops and sprays and towels to put out, and a scowl made in my nightmares Oh, can't I stay We'll put on the day There's a sun show every second Now the curtain opens on a portrait of today And the streets are full of ejits drunk And seagulls fly And papers lie Waiting to blow away Woke up, it was a Dublin morning, and the first thing that I knew Was my tourguide would turn up soon Demanding cups of strong tea too Then he walked in with a wide smile that stuck to all my senses Oh, can't I stay, We'll put on the day And talk with constant interruptions When the curtain closes and the rainbow runs away I will bring you MGDs by night By candlelight By jewellight If only I can stay Oh pretty baby, can't I Woke up, it was a Dublin morning ======= and NO chris, i dont think its too "in-joke". it's perfect. Love and Luck GARRET Np- Joni- Chelsea Morning
