Subject: RE: Alaska Mike needs good thoughts
That's my boy!!! Lyric looks great, Mike, looking forward to hearing it. I want you to continue to give me examples of great songwriting, so's I can sharpen my skills. I have the very important song to write, with the working title of "The Ballad of Alaska Mike and the Vacuumed Manly Bits". They meter and rhyme of this one will be a bit dodgy, but I am helped by being able to introduce some reference to "lefty" in there. A thought just hits me, I can have a character in the song called "one eyed Johnson". This ditty might rival that sterling bit of songcraft written a few years ago by the Shellbacks known as "The Jamb on Jeri's Stump".

Keep on the mend, ramblin' buddy. I am pulling for you. Whoa, poor choice of words. Maybe "rootin", that won't work either. On your side? No, not the left side. Shit. I will do my best.

All the best,

Mick
