AHA! I was wondering how long it would be before Microsoft Windows started taking a few shots. Good one!

Momentary thread drift:

For a kind of a ditzy little ditty, A Bonnie Wee Lassie has stood me in good stead during the past couple of weeks.

A week ago Sunday, Bob Nelson (Deckman) and I were at a gathering of friends, and after dinner the guitars came out and we did a bit of singing. Sometimes we play a little game of naming a sort of off-the-wall subject, and then seeing if we can come up with a song that fits. The son of the hostess tossed out the subject "big ears." After some thought, Bob said, "I got nuthin'!" I was about to pass also, then suddenly had an inspiration. I said, "This song doesn't mention ears, but it may very well be the cause of this fellow's problem." Then I sang A Bonnie Wee Lassie. Bob and the others cracked up, and the hostess's son allowed as how it fit the category.

Then this Sunday (Oct. 14th), at Bob's and my reunion concert (CLICKY), I did it again. It always goes over well.

And then here on this thread, where, in a weird sort of way, it seems to fit yet again. It's a cute song—not necessarily the song I want to be best known for—but it seems to work.

Now, back to our regular broadcast.
