Actually seed, all the couplings in my post HAVE actually happened. That WAS the joke! (guess I'd better not quit my day job). BUT..imagine my surprise to find out that Catspaw is an Emmy Lou fan, and that I was taking a cheap shot at both of them! Nooo Nooo Nooo! Didn't know the first...and wasn't doing the second! I actually am a big fan of Ms. Harris, and even more so now that she's playing a guitar built by my friend Glen Reid. The humour (for those who are into it) comes from the incongruity of the parings, and the downside result is that often the music made is much less than either artist would do on their own.

On the other hand, now I understand your "take one sideways" line "Paw". I assume it's the celtic translation of "Goin' upside your head!" If you want to mess with a Canadian, tell them "On Your Back,Bacon!" Gonna miss you while I'm on tour, Cletus.
