Thread Name: Bad song choices at a gig
Subject: RE: Bad song choices at a gig
We once did "Songbird" by Jesse Winchester at a singaround; it has the lines:-
"My songbird wants her freedom, now don't you think I know,
But I can't find it in myself to let my songbird go."
One of the regulars burst into tears for no apparent reason, and we thought perhaps it was Julia's emotional delivery of the song, until the real reason came to light - her budgie had escaped that day.
