Subject: RE: BS: old words - new meanings
This subject compells me to tell of an amusing event that happened about four years ago. Don Firth and I were singing a concert in Seattle, and my 16 year old granddaughter was in the audience. Don sang his wonderful version of "The Frozen Logger", written by the late Jim Stevens.

I happenned to watching grand daughter's face as Don sang the line:

"He never shaved a whisker,
From off of his horny hide ..."

Grand daughter reacted to the word, her mother started laughing, and I almost fell off my chair! True story (how words change) bob
