Thread Name: Lyr Req: Northwest Passage (Stan Rogers)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: North West Passage
Since we're on Northwest Passage parodies... I wrote Northeast Passage back in 1982, gave it to Stan before the break at a Cherry Tree concert, and had the thrill of a lifetime when he came out after the break and sang MY version! At his concert in May 1983 the crowd wouldn't let him leave until he sang it again. It was,sadly, the last song he sang in Phila. before his untimely death. There is a story, confirmed by Garnet, of the band being run out of New York by an irate waitress at the club in which they were performing when they sang the song there. Since I dedicated the song to my ex-wife it was written in good humor. It can also be found on Digitrad.
