Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Two Adge Cutler songs
Many thanks. Jim.
I had Adge Cutler's album but lost it somewhere. We, my wife and I, had most of it figured out. However the last line, "Till weem all out Arno's Vale. Had us completely snowed, as did, "Nostra Yakki Da".

Virtute et industria is also the motto of Bristol, Rhode Island, USA
I occasionally sing, "When the Common Market Comes to Stanton Drew"
I spent four years at RAF Lakenheath (and Soho) so most of the "Britt" terms were familiar. You cleared up the ones that I couldn't figure out.

Adge's Bristol slang and terminology runs a close second to "Uncle Dave Macon"'s Tennessee accent which is almost uninteligable to us real Yankees (Yankees live only in the five New England States)

Thanks again.
