Damn site cookies. With my TypeKey registration thingy, it doesn’t remember anyone. You have to log in every time you’re opening your browser for the first time that session. If someone would just blow all the spammers to smithereens we could blog and comment in peace.

Ha! That’s a great post.
I don’t have a proverb to add.
Just want to say that laughter does not make the world go ’round. It simply annoys the cat.
Your harmonica playing reminded me of my cat, who gets very disturbed when I think something is riotously funny. He comes running from “his” room (which he doesn’t know is actually mine) and has this “shut the eff up!” meow. Which makes me laugh even harder.

I just want to go on the record as stating that whoever named 1. Jug Bands and 2. Strip Malls should be sued for violations of truth in advertising.
That is all.

J: Now we all thank you for putting that song into our heads. Here you go!

This land is your land, this land is my land
From California, to the New York Island
From the redwood forest, to the gulf stream waters
This land was made for you and me

As I was walking a ribbon of highway
I saw above me an endless skyway
I saw below me a golden valley
This land was made for you and me

Chorus

I've roamed and rambled and I've followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
And all around me a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me

Chorus

The sun comes shining as I was strolling
The wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling
The fog was lifting a voice come chanting
This land was made for you and me

Chorus

As I was walkin' - I saw a sign there
And that sign said - no tress passin'
But on the other side .... it didn't say nothin!
Now that side was made for you and me!

Chorus

In the squares of the city - In the shadow of the steeple
Near the relief office - I see my people
And some are grumblin' and some are wonderin'
If this land's still made for you and me.

Chorus (2x)

Okay. While technically I shouldn’t blame you for having put the song “This Land Is My Land, This Land Is Your Land” in my head for the past several hours, I’m going to anyway. It’s in the same genre of fireside songs as “On Top of Old Smokey” and “You Are My Sunshine” and completely appropriate for a rockin’ jug band like yours. I’m convinced that reading your post this morning was the seed that planted this song in my brain, which is driving me batty since I only know the title and the tune that keeps repeating itself in a crazy-making loop.

R: I thought it just hated me! It doesn’t remember my info either. I’ll have to look into that… (and by the by, your site never remembers me either. Why can’t we stop fighting like this?)

Sleep late; still get the worm.
(p.s. Why does your site hate me? It never remembers my name.)
