Subject: RE: The Saddest Song Ever written
A couple of Eric Bogle tunes "Green fields of France" & "And the band played Waltzing Matilda" get me every time. Tom Waits' "Kentucky Avenue" , I mean damn, who doesn't tear up when he's going to: "Steal a hacksaw from my dad and cut the braces off your legs" or "Take the spokes from your wheelchair, and some Magpie's wings, tie 'em to your shoulders and your feet" Whoah. btw, Where can I find a recording of "Randall Knife?
