I once got very drunk, staggered on stage and gave an impromptu rendition of Johnny Standley's Its In The Book, complete with the song Grandma's Lyesoap, to a gathering, incredulous small audience. To make matters worse, I tried it again about 25 or 30 years later with a group of friends out in the wilderness, with more or less the same response.

I still am uncertain why I did it in the first place, let alone twice.

I had a few hoots one night at a club gig and decided that it would be a good time to impress an audience with my abilities on the 12-string guitar, an instrument I had just acquired and had no idea how to play. I was told later that I spent a half hour tuning the instrument while telling jokes. The audience was in stitches, but eventually someone brought me my 6-string and took the 12-string away from me. My gawd, the things we do at times.

"Oh Brucie! That's so sweet!"

Thank you, jacqui. It's a rough world for those of us who wear our hearts on our sleeves. I doomed myself to folk perdition with the Manilow statement. I don't know what came over me.

Brucie - I reckon that the folk world is big hearted enough to forgive even your transgression. I certainly wouldn't hold it against you!

I still sometimes lapse into playing Bob Seger songs, at times I do this in the middle of a set. It is usually either Fire Lake or Turn The Page.

Forgive me Max, for I have sinned.

I still do Tommy Roe's "Sheila" when I feel like it. Surely it's folk music by now.

You, for sure, are doomed. (I like 'em both, too.)

"I have sinned!"

In 1842-1843 British forces under General Charles Napier conquered Sindh. It is said that he sent back to the Governor General a one-word message, "Peccavi" – Latin for "I have sinned". In actual fact, this pun first appeared as a cartoon in Punch magazine.

I put "The Rose" on a CD, and even tho' I tried to think like Johnny Cash while singing it, is still wussy.

But I like it anyway!! So there!!

I also like "Wind Beneath My Wings". And Del Shannon's "Runaway", and "Patches". Hey, it's lots like art for me: I may NOT know what's good, but I do know what I like.

Yep - I like a lot of that stuff too. Are we all suitable cases for treatment by the 'Folk Police'????

Down by the river that flows by the coal yards.
Stands wooden houses with shutters torn down
There lives a girl everybody calls Patches
Patches my darling of Old Shanty town

We plan to marry when June brought the summer
I couldn't wait to make Patches my bride
Now I don't see how that ever can happen
My folks say No, and my heart breaks inside

Patches oh what can I do
I swear I'll always love you
But a girl from that place would just bring me disgrace
So my folks won't let me love you

Each night I cry as I think of that shanty
And pretty Patches there watching the door
She doesn't know that I can't come to see her
Patches must think that I love her no more

I hear a neighbor tellin my father
He said a girl name of Patches was found
Floating face down in that dirty old river
That flows by the coal yards in Old Shanty Town

Patches oh what can I do
I swear I'll always love you
It may not be right But I'll join you tonight
Patches I'm coming to you

When I was younger I occasionally voted for Republican Candidates. I voted for John Anderson in the 1980 elecetion. I bought my sister a bodhran for her 40th birthday, thereby causing her to take bodhran classes at the Chicago New School of Folk Music. I have just purchased a drum that seems to be a cross between a bodhran and a rain stick, which I plan on giving her on her next birthday.
And I like Jacobite songs.
Mea Culpa, Mea Maxima Culpa!
