Subject: RE: David Grismans mandola stolen From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 08 Sep 03 - 09:28 AM Damn! That's cold! I'm not a religious person. I guess you could say music is my religion, and David is one of its high priests. Stealin' an axe from somebody like Dave is like stealin' a statue from a church. God should strike your ass down for that shit. Bruce |

Subject: RE: David Grismans mandola stolen From: Sleepless Dad Date: 13 Sep 03 - 06:34 PM Good news - It's been returned. When Grisman got home there was a box from UPS with the mandola inside. There was a note that said that someone had found it in the parking lot and decided to send it back. Whatever really happened I'm glad musician and instrument have been reunited. |

Subject: RE: David Grismans mandola stolen From: Sorcha Date: 13 Sep 03 - 09:23 PM The Fairies brought back my wallet today. Tire tracks on the outside, but everything intact. Small saving grace to a very bad week. |
Subject: RE: David Grismans mandola stolen From: GUEST,Nick Date: 13 Sep 03 - 10:22 PM Sounds like fodder for a halfway decent folk song.. Oh the night they stola Grisma's mandola.... |
Subject: RE: David Grismans mandola stolen From: Nerd Date: 14 Sep 03 - 02:11 AM I saw Grisman out in Bozeman and the man began to cry for they stole-a his mandola up the road in old Big Sky He felt burned, and home returned, and then he loudly hollered "YES!" Cause the axe was in a box delivered up by UPS CH: Oh the night they stole-a Grisman's Mandola Well, he really felt the lack Oh, he had a hole-a in his soul-a til he got the sucker back Well, the crook had been a schnook and so he couldn't sell the thing And to deposit in his closet such a lovely mandoling seemed so sad that he felt bad, in fact, as dirty as a hog... So he placed it its case and sent it right on back to Dawg. CH: So the Moral of my storal is don't steal what isn't yours You might end up in South Bend with Dawg's old Gilchrist in your drawers If you covet--well what of it?--just don't let your conscience down Or you'll have to pay the piper (or at least the man in Brown) CH |
Subject: RE: David Grismans mandola stolen From: John MacKenzie Date: 14 Sep 03 - 04:37 AM Sorcha , if it had tyre tracks on it, then it's probably a good job you didn't have it on you at the time. Giok *BG* |
