DaveO - LOL also! Very good retort.

GUEST - The Emerson quote is a beauty. We are indeed gods, walking around pretending to be anything but, and most of us have simply forgotten that that's what we are here doing. The illusion is so damn convincing...but we created it out of pure thought in the first place. Or in Spaw's case, impure thought. :-))))

Hesperis - how did you find out about that? Have you been talking to Bob lately?

rabbitrunning - What a great song! Do you know Lepus? You rabbits should stick together.

As for the detractors of this lovely thread, I think they should go and listen to Burl Ives records until the paint peels off the walls (which reminds me, I need a copy of Burl singing "Goober Peas"...a great little song). Folk music is about everything, and this thread could provide some useful input into that.
