I am not sure I ever told this story to the Mudcat folks ...

... but I actually played this song one night at a pub in Fall River Massachusetts. I thought the folks would get a kick out of it, and told 'em that I'd learned the song from a local Dallas boy - and that the Dallas folks loved it. Sure enough the New England pub crowd got a chuckle or two - but after I finished the show, a lady came up to me (now she and her hsuband had enojyed the music, bought CDs on the break, etc) but I played the song in the last set, and she came up to me afterwards and said, "I want you to know something; I've never heard anything more offensive then that Lee Harvey song."

I'm always quick to apologize, but I have to say - this time I couldn't. I simply said, "Oh, OK."

Still - I only sang it that once.
