Less there be any misunderstanding-

I love the song "I Can See You Now"

But I didn't "get" that bow was a reference to a boat until I looked up that word.

Amos, you wrote "It is a pretty well-known word, bow. I guess it could be misunderstood by those who grew up far from any shore"...

Hey, Amos- I'm from Atlantic City, New Jersey. I guess you could say that I was brought up near a shore. But, like a lot of people who live/d in that city which is really an island, I didn't have any experience what so ever with boats or ships or canoes or anything. Heck, a lot of folks I know who live/d in Atlantic City don't even know how to swim because the ocean isn't exactly the best place to learn and practice that skill.

So does any confusion I had with that reference to "bow" detract from my wanting to hear Bruce Murdoch's wonderfully written song "I Can See You Now" again and again.

Nope. It's just that I'm kinda obsessive/compulsive about words and word meanings and word usages in a Virgoian kinda way.

But people with some Virgo astrological placements like me are nice people in spite of sometimes getting fixated on details in a nit picky kinda way.
