Floyd,

I read your comment about the song sounding "familiar" and I read WAY too much into it, and was wondering if you were mad at me again.

So, I showed it to Tater Totts, who has been taking some psychology classes for his GED at Pink Hill Community College. This is what he said:

"Mr. Floyd,

"I think I know that ring of familiarity you must be feeling when you heard this. We all have that feeling, when hearing a new song that is so lovingly crafted by masters, that it seems we have heard it for years.

"Songs that remind us of the tunes we once dreamed of writing, as masters of reason and rhyme. Songs that haunt our hearts because we hear the angel’s wings of greatness and grandiosity floating like a butterfly, just so ever out of our reach, as we sit there, hearing the familiar, and yet knowing in our souls, that these great songs should be our teachers, and our spirit guides.

"As we listen. As we grow. As we learn.

"Thanks for bringing it into the light my friend--your own recognition of the familiarity of genius when you heard this song.

"You are right—it is familiar. The familiar sound of a brand of natural greatness that does not betray its own pretensions. Thank you for teaching us all--and especially me--what I needed to hear myself.”

So there you have it.

I think Tater has become outrageously full of himself these days but who am I to judge??

Your Buddy,
