Subject: RE: Origins: First Time Ever I Saw Your Face
Total bullshit.
I wrote it and never got any credit at all. It was about early sumer in 1959 and me and a couple of buddies had taken a break from playing catch and were having hosewater Fizzies in aluminum tumblers. As my grape Fizzie sent bubbles to the surface, they seem to portry the Virgin Mary. This experience may well have changed my life forever except Joey thought it looked more like Miss McConnell, a really ugly teacher. I had to admit that the facew had changed as the bubbles fizzed out but that first view of Mary was embedded forever.
Then I wrote the song, took a good shit, and got over the whole thing. We put the shit in a paper sack along with the paper the song was written on which was torn from my Indian Chief tablet and set it on fire on George Spellvin's porch and he ruined a pair of Florscheim wing tips stomping it out.
