Thread Name: Lyr Req: Northwest Passage (Stan Rogers)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: North West Passage
In case anyone is interested, there is a -- dare I say it? -- parody (whew, no thunderbolts yet) of this wonderful song. It's called "FOR JUST ONE DIME" and is in the Digital Tradition here. (How'd I do with the link, Joe?) If anyone is really mad at my putting this in this thread, just say so and I'll go away. But as a member of Parodists [not so] Anonymous, I think it's possible to love a song and write another one based on it. Parodies aren't always making fun of their subject. We probably need another name. But that should be the subject of another thread... By the way, here in Hawaii, and I presume elsewhere, phone calls are now up to 35 cents. Another song, anyone? I was fortunate enough to hear Stan perform Northwest Passage, and it was all the more stirring.
