Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Cruising to Maui
Wonderful, pj! I've lived in Hawaii for 6 1/2 years and have never been to Maui...now maybe I don't have to! Actually, though, I've heard that Lahaina (the old whaling port on Maui, now apparently a tourist trap) is the only place for folk music in the islands--not counting Hawaiian music, of course. Fortunately we finally have NPR here on the Hilo side of the Big Island, so at least I can hear Thistle and Shamrock and A Prairie Home Companion. Sure wish Sandy Bradley's Pot Luck was on, though....
I'm sorry, Lindsay, for not posting the link with my original message. This will get you to my song, Coming Down With Old VD, and you can compare it with the one you know. It will be interesting to see what turns up. I'm sure it wouldn't be the first time two people have written similar parodies of the same song...though I can't think of any offhand.
