WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN CHEESES

What a friend we have in cheeses,
Mozzarella, Cheddar, Swiss!
Bleu and Limberger's sweet breezes
Lingering like a lover's kiss.
Humble milk's apotheosis,
Muenster, Provolone, Brie
Damn cholesterol's thrombosis
Cheese is Gouda stuff by me!

Heed the U. S. Dairy Council,
Keep the Gruyere on the shelf.
Even just a tiny ounce'll
Give you vitamin B-12.
Gather, pilgrims at the deli
Buying Edam and Havarti,
Wedges moist and cold and smelly,
Bring home lots and have a party!



BUT Salmon and Chocolate are the featured vices of this Getaway- All other vices are welcome, but will be considered unfeatured....

BB, if they are your lyrics, they're great.

And Bill: Someone has to be in charge of vice. Otherwise it gets outta hand.

I don't know "Cheeses" was written by BeardedBruce, but I know he is the author of that great Getaway food song (from some time in the 1980's?) of which the chorus is:

Let Onions Be in all our stews,
Let all our stews be made with wine,
We'll show the world just how to dine
We'll end each meal in choc'late!

Cheeses is not mine ( I wish it was). It is in the DT database.


However, this is one of mine...

                (To the tune of " Let Union Be")


        Come all you who would be flatter,
        Raise your forks and pass the platter:
        For to live is to grow fatter
        While we are together.

        CHORUS:        Let onions be in all our stews:
                Let all our stews be made with wine.
                We'll show them all just how to dine:
                We'll end each meal with chocolate.
                Right fol de rol de ri too ra li do
                Right fol de rol de ri too ra li do
                Right fol de rol de ri too ra li do
                While we are together.

        Eating and drinking are quite charming;
        Cakes and ice cream there's no harm in.
        All these things we take delight in
        While we are together.

        CHORUS:

        Grab the platter as it passes:
        Join with us at all repasses.
        Those who diet are but asses
        While we are together.

        CHORUS:

Bill,

THAT ( vice-chairman) would be in the executive branch.

I am the Chief Salmon Judge, this year.

Let us hope there is NO legislative branch to this tree...

Thanks for the invitation. But I now live in Chicago. I've been here for the past five years. Chicago is a great Blues city. I have yet to explore the blues community here. It's strange that I would end up making Chicago my home. I really didn't want to move here but a girl friend who is now my wife talked me into it. I want to become more active in the blues community and I figured the best place to start is here at Mudcat. My uncle loved Chicago so much that he wrote a song about it. The first time I saw the lake front.....I understood why. Thanks for remembering me. Robert

Li'l RObert: We been known to do some blues at the Getaway, and it does raise the roof a bit when we do it indoors.

But, as they say, man shall not live on blues alone...

A reminder to one and all--

The Deadline is rapidly approaching

By this coming weekend, the FSGW (actually, me) is going to have to tell the camp how many meals to prepare, and our housing chair (not me) is going to have to figure out how to best fit attendees into the 202 beds available.

LAST CALL

If you're coming, please let us know. Send an email to our registrar that he should expect your registration form. Or PM me. But let us know if you can come.

--Charlie Baum, FSGW Getaway Chair

I'm going to put this post on any threads that might produce results for forgive me for multi-posting.

We are going to arrange for a raffle at the Getaway to raise funds for Pene. What we need are items to be put into the raffle so, if you have anything suitable and are either coming to the Getaway or can get the item to me or to someone who is coming to the Getaway please let me know and I can include it in the list of prizes that I'll be putting together over the next two weeks.

If you want any further info PM me.

By the way, this is separate from the Silent Auction for which donations are also requested.

I'm going to be busy crocheting the next couple of weeks!
