Again, a lot of great stuff (wisdom on the mudcat? well, yes, it often is.. part of what makes the mudcat special) in these comments. I particularly like Joan's comment about singing for the song & seeing the pictures. It happens for me that way when it's working best, 'n if you can make those pictures - hopefully - appear for the audience as well, you've shared something very special.. "Break A Leg."

Cheers, BK

ps.. Margarita: which "Maid Of Amsterdam," the show tune turned capstain shanty & also featured in the Cinerama Movie "Windjammer?" It was supposedly from a play called "The Rape of Lucrecia." evidently a comedy...
