Subject: RE: Help: Origins of They Call the Wind Maria
I seem to remember the spring of 1968, or maybe 1969, the Eugene Hotel, Lee Marvin and Clint Eastwood in town on their way to film Paint Your Wagon on one of our Oregon rivers. My memory may be jumbled as to when, but I'm pretty sure they passed through.

As to great songs in Paint Your Wagon, how can we neglect to mention "(Hand Me Down That) Can O' Beans," or "No Name City?"

And there are some great lines too - "Until you've had a shot of whiskey and a cigar, you're missing the second and third best things in the world."

"...you haven't been recognized." "I'm Schermerhorn."

How could you possibly pick a favorite?
