I only ever sing this song during this month and have performed it about three times so far. I must admit that I've always sung "smiles" (even though I've heard Dave sing it quite a few times) but will be careful to sing "grins" from now on.

I'm glad that Kevin gave the corrections to the the words (and spelling) for the September/October sections as otherwise you don't really get the full equestrian symbolism.

Does anyone (Dave are you still looking in on this thread ?) the words to (I think it's called) "The Sexton and the Carpenter". It's one of the most macabre songs I've heard and Dave plays an incredible guitar accompaniment to it.
