Thread Name: Lyr Req: River Blues/Ready for the River (R Crumb)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: River Blues per R. Crumb
And I am gratified to know that it is worthwhile to resurrect old music threads where requests haven't been completely answered. I'm glad you're still paying attention, Mountain Dog! But even if you weren't, I would still consider it worthwhile to accumulate this information for posterity.

Anyway, I LOVE R. Crumb and the Cheap Suit Serenaders. I used to have a cassette of them—I think it was on the Shanachie label, probably "Singin' in the Bathtub"—and I was playing it on the cassette deck in my car when the deck broke and I could never get it to eject or play after that. The cassette was still in there when I gave away the car. C'est la vie. I guess I'll have to buy a CD of them eventually.

The song "Ready for the River" sounds familiar and I thought maybe it was on that cassette—but it's not on the track list at AMG, so I don't know what's up with that...
