Oh, and here are the words to "Nero" -- at least, as I learned them. Supposedly, it came from a passage in a history book.

Nero's expedition up the Nile
Failed
Because the water hyacinths
Had clogged the river
Denying Nero's vessels passage
Through the Sud of Nubia

But the words don't convey the marvelous syncopations and jazz chords in the tune.

Aloha,
Mark
