Subject: RE: BS: Black Bird Singing in the Dead of Night
Now, roosters are supposed to crow at the break of dawn, but some of them crow whenever they feel like it. For many years, I lived with a small farm on the property, and the roosters would start crowing when it was still dark. One night, a rooster broke me up in the middle of a beautiful dream with a song in it. One that had never been written. At first I was irritated to be wakened, but quickly came to my senses, grabbed a pen and wrote the first few lines of a song on a pad I kept by my bed. After muttering a few choice words about the rooster, I drifted back into sleep, and got several more lines to the song..
