Jack Hickman	Lyr Req: The Garden Where the Praties Grow (35)	RE: The Garden Where the Praties Grow	08 Dec 98
My favourite party song. If I had a nickel for every time I was in my cups and sang this song I'd be a hell of a lot richer than I am now. Somewhere along the line, someone explained to me that back when this song was written, early in this century, women's fashions called for the wearing of a type of bustle which gave them a deformed look in the rear, and this was called a Grecian Bend. While I'm pontificating, and just in case you didn't know, a chignon is a type of hairpiece popular in the period. I'd be interested in hearing other theories as the meaning. Jack Hickman
