BERT>>BERT>>BERT>>>>> I LOVE YOU MAN !!!!!

I've been fascinated with Cockney R.S. for years and it's very tough to find out anything about it here. Truly many thanks ... already on my favorites.

I have a feeling this thread may go to many parts, like 2,3,4. Lots to be said I'm sure fromall corners of the world.

I think a lot of words in songs will come up, but let me say one, more about the writer than the word. Paul Simon is a true wordsmith and I always enjoy his work. He is also the only guy I know that will put "crapped out" in a BALLAD/LAMENT type song lyric. Makes his work very identifiable.

Duty calls...gotta' go ...See you all later!!!
