Accepted that some thing just can not be as far as the personal/emotional front. A potential bad situation in our neighborhood has been averted, at least temporarily.... now back to writing songs.

Aye, and yee are a fine physical specimen, me wee bucko! That reminds of the old joke: I always wondered why I never felt well-served by the Postal SERVICE, Civil SERVICE, and Social Security SERVICE... until I heard a farmer talking about getting a bull to SERVICE his heifers... then it all made perfect sense. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ey71h8ep047758h/AAC12jNM0Hz9Q8zsh5iDeqNHa?dl=0
