Thread Name: Lyr Req: Love Is a Many Splendored Thing
Subject: RE: Love is a many splendored thing....
Dear Ralph, No, it was just I forgot to address it!! (I am really slow) But I suddenly realised when I came back that I was being criticized earlier in the thread (I am really slow) for encouraging these sorts of requests by helping. It is probably true. The problem for me is that I know what it is like to be desperate for a song, and why not help? And you learn things -- I was asked the other day for the Beatles' tune "I Will", and someone came up and said did you know about Alison Krauss' unbelievably beautiful version, and I said, who is Alison Krauss? (I am really slow). Boom! Back to Doc Watson and away! Also it is a challenge -- rummaging in piano benches and stuff. I think (in spite of Elsie's remarks about Professor X, that we are not here to learn how to do research. This is not a university of the air -- thank god. Yours, Peter
