Subject: RE: Thought for the Day (Oct 28 really)
Somewhere (in a thread I think) I posted the song I sang for years called "The Shanty Boy On The Big Eau Claire"---which is a Wisconsin lumberjack version of Romeo and Juliet. It was written by W.N. Allen of Wausau, Wisconsin about 1872 folks figure. Mr. Allen wrote under the name of "Shan T. Boy". Quite often one could perceive his tongue embedded firmly in his cheek.
