Been there done that. Where did everybody go? Your first line reminded me of the first line ot the George Harrison song on his last cd. Congrats Roger.

Thanks,it seems to be a common experience,at least for blues aficionados. I'm not all that familiar with GH's post Beatles works - the only one that come to mind is My Sweet Lord.

Romella, thanks this was a contest entry and one tail rhyme was the limit. It may still be open if you wish to submit.

There are some things no amount of booze can wash away. Yet still we try.
