When I first came to Wash DC, I attended open mic nights at the old Red Fox Inn..I was a rank amateur, but they were tolerant folk..*grin*...so I sang a few times, and the host, Bruce Hutton, always had a nice thing to say about almost anyone...so one night it was my turn, and Bruce said, "next we have Bill Day....I've never heard him repeat a song."

I raised my eyebrows as I stepped up to the mic and said..."Well, Bruce, a song needs a little time to recover from what I do to it."
