Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Ugly Baby (Armstrong)
Karl, thanks, yes, I now have that CD of The New Modern Idiot Grunt Band, courtesy of Rod Felton himself and by way of catter Dave4Guild. I don't think it was ever an issued record, but a remake of a private tape recording at a gig, and it is real, and it takes me back.
I love live recordings, they haven't the polish of studio efforts but then, I like folk music.

Don't know if I'll ever sing Ugly Baby, it is truly insulting and the intro supposes it is about a real person, but it is really quite gratifying to see how accurate my long-term memory is.
Now, if I could only remember where I put my car keys.....

Public thanks here to Dave, to add to my private ones.
