Hi Markhsmit,

A song to ponder: 

Busted flat in Baton Rouge waiting for a train,
Feeling just as faded as my Jeans!
Bobby thumbed a Diesel down just before it rained.
Took us all the way to New Orleans!

I took my Harpoon out of my dirty red bandana,
And was playing soft while Bobby sang the Blues!
With those windshield wipers slapping time,
And Bobby¹s hand enclosed in mine,
We sang-up every song that driver knew

Freedom¹s just another word for nothing left to lose!
Freedom ain¹t worth nothing!  But it¹s free!
Feeling Good! Was easy, Lord! when Bobby sang the blues!
Brother that was good enough for me!
Good enough for me, and Bobby McGhee!

Joe
