The really bizarre aspect of this is the time lag ... I don't think I've looked at this thread since the last time I responded ... and I'm only responding THIS time because not only did Mary Heil pass a lovely compliment on to me ... she actually named the phrase that warms her the most! The first time this happened to me was on a flying visit to Dublin from California in 1989, when I did a gig with Gerry O'Beirne supporting some people in Mother Redcaps ... and there was a member of the audience who got up to leave after we'd done our bit. We begged her to stay; she informed us that she was a Midnight Well fan. Taken aback (not really thinking that anyone in the world knew that band) I said something pseudo-wise, like, 'Oh, yeah? And what's your favourite song on it?' Without dropping a beat, she smiled and said 'Wheel of Fortune'. Even more nonplussed, I said something like, 'Oh, yeah? And what's your favourite lyric in it?' Again, without dropping a beat, she said, 'And a friend I'll be when I refuse him, and send him home again...' Crikey. I'm not sure if I'm as proud of that lyric as I am of 'she'll talk to me awhile' ... but it's pretty close. Thanks, Mary.
