Oy, Brian, melad; so generous of ye t' offer the use o' yer "outhouse" fer a singgaddoo!! I sorta thought tha they didn't alow them rigs any more down t' Portland Town on accouta them new health regulations & all, but you apparantly got lucky & god "grandfathered in". With all th' interest in Folk Music 'round heah lately, I shore hope it's at least a four-holer!! Leave the door open, fer Chrissakes Mate! It's gettin' a wee bit IN-Tense in here!

Can we read our music by the light of a Crescent Moon ? Better have it memorized cold! Speaking of "cold", is that outhouse heated? ...Oh, I see; "Biomass". Gawd, aint' you progressive!?

"They passed an ordinance in the town
Said we'd have to tear it down

That little brown shack out back so dear to me

Though the health department said

It's day was over and dead

It will stand forever in my memory

Don't let 'em tear that little brown building down

Don't let 'em tear that little brown building down

Don't let 'em tear that little brown building down

There's not another like it in the country or the town..."

ODE TO THE LITTLE BROWN SHACK
