George---Will do as you suggest...

Amazing, I heard the "Roll-Turn-Spin" song by Benji Aranoff (a white guy) and never ever thought of it in any other historical setting than in occupied Europe during World War 2 ! Bizarre what a preconception and a locked mindset can do to freeze one's perception of a given tale. Then again, I once thought that "THE BULLHEAD BOAT", that we both have recorded, was about a Viking ship with a scary bovine figurehead on the bow. ;-)

Your view of the song "Roll-Turn Spin" makes me juxtopose Tom Jefferson and Sally Hemmings into the song in my mind's eye. That sure would've changed history, huh?

As someone once said, "To ere is human. To forgive, BOVINE." **BG=Big Grin**
