I remembered a thread like that as well, Joe--and I couldn't find it either--Interesting re-write, Frank--

As I said, I need traditional for practical and aesthetic reasons--Aethestic, because I want people to be generally familiar with the songs, and use them to illuminate my first person accounts--Practical because I want to be able to use the material in a variety of situations without worrying about performance rights and clearances and such things--

Don't need things to be first person, and, as I said, don't need them to necessarily be narrative, just need stuff that has a degree of familiarity and is evocative--
