I usually made them suffer through a barrage of oldies from 'My Wild Irish Rose' to 'Hello Dolly' One sweet little old Irish lady used to pull her chair right up and lean her elbow on the end of the organ. I could see her lips mouthing the words to every song, she knew them all. On St. Pat's day, as a special treat for her, I sang 'Danny Boy' in my best raspy voice. That sweet little lady looked me in the eye and said, "Just play the instrument son, you sing like shit." I know my voice is raspy but so is Johnny cash. I wondered if she would say that to Johnny Cash..What's so special about him. Take away his good looks; his voice, his money and talent and wadda ya got? me Ededbro68 MSNhttp://msn-edbro68.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6464100720604662734.post-56276601251451215962007-07-09T22:25:00.000-07:002007-07-09T22:25:00.000-07:00I remember losing a meat token in front of Woodlan...I remember losing a meat token in front of Woodland garage. My Father made me look for it until late night when my Mother brought me home. It was a blue plastic the size of a kickel. Years later (1965) I was telling the story to a group of friends when the woman jumped out of her chair and dug a token out of her purse. She told me she found it in front of Woodland Garage and had tried to find the owner. She gave it to me to take home to my Father.
