Thread Name: Lyr Add: Molly, Come Back (George Ward)
Subject: RE: Info Req: Molly, Come Back
I do believe I've never had a dog named after one of my songs before. Love it! I'm honored. Hmm... who else has had a dog named after a song ? Or had ANYTHING named after a song ? Could be a thread.

Yes, I have been on the Mystic Festival more than once, and much more recently (i.e. 2- 3 years ago). It is a favorite of mine, one of those places to catch up with folks I never seem to see anywhere else. And Geoff and company do great things with it.

It always makes my day to find that a song of mine has taken root somewhere. I think it was the poet William Meredith (whom I was greatly privileged to have as a teacher) who said that one's poems are like one's children. The time comes when they go forth on their own into the world, and you have to simply wish them well and hope they are kindly received where they go (I'm sure WM said it better - he always did - but it was a long time ago). Anyway, the same applies to one's songs.

Sounds as if Molly's found a good place.
