14 Jul 98 - 10:36 PM (#32571) Subject: RE: LYRIC REQUEST: Mari-Mac From: rich r This is quite bizarre. I just got back from 10 days in Canada, where I picked up a CD by Great Big Sea because the Kenora radio station had played Lukey by them and i thought it was pretty neat (OK so I actually went into the store looking for a CD by Quartette which they didn't have). So this CD has MariMac and I'm at work today listening to it (and working) and tying to figure out what the heck the third line of the chorus is fand I failed. Then I come home and there it is the right near the top of all the threads I have to catch up on. This place is not only amazing but eerily clarivoyant. Almost like those ladies in the psychic phone chat TV copmmercials. rich r |

As usual you can have my copy here Irish@prof Mick. |
