After a wonderful set ranging from classic Folksongs game and ribald, Ed's ghost sits at a table with Severn, who owned quite a few of his recordings, and listens to Severn tell of his own dream about Ed's classic "Last Night I Had the Strangest Dream", where one of the gathered World Leaders, possibly from Andorra, looked at the mess in the streets and asked who was going to clean it all up. There was much denial from all sides, resulting in loud arguments and a few cases of fisticuffs, until finally some folks stepped up ?and signed papers taking responsibility for at least parts of the cleanup and all went home

The poor people who lacked clothing quickly grabbed up some of the uniforms left over from the soldiers who chose to March home in their skivvies and the odd gun or two.

In the middle of the night, fleece of white trucks pulled up. Some had diplomatic plates with newly painted sides saying thing things like "Ivan's Scrap Metal", "Abdul's Salvage" , "Feng Fu's Foundry" and "Kwame's Iron Works with large crews of men filling the trucks up to the brim. Most of the plain white unmarked truck had U.S. Government plates, most, likely traceable to the CIA and it looked like there were a few independent contractors there whose trucks said "Captain Curt's Collectables", "Simon's Surplus", "Ghetto Gary's Thrifts & Gifts" and such.

The next morning, another fleet of trucks that had official signed papers for them to take care of the cleanup and were surprised to find, other than the odd torn or outsized scraps of uniform.nothing but untold thousands of drums.....

"Where am I supposed to take all these Damn drums?"
A man in a straw hat and a sersuck sports coat steps up and says, " Excuse me sir, my name is Professor Harold Hill.... "

In six months,the guns have been relocated elsewhere, the trucks have been repainted and the world was back as it was, except a few arms dealers are even richer than ever..

"Pretty impressive," Ed told Severn, " but as you see, I'm dead, so the song is all yours to write. Remember, the melody is protected for my surviving family, so that part you will have to tweak slightly yourself. "

Time for my next set! I gotta go...Any requests? "

'The Trinity Cake'

"You've got it! Wow! That goes back....."
