I've always liked JP.

Another good album is "Pink Cadillac"

   ...Got a sideways hickey from a slant-eyed chickee,
      Down in Chinatown...


Another I really like from the John Prine album
     (sung with lots of twang)



      And daddy won't ya take me back to Muhlenberg county
      down by the green river where paradise waits,

      He said, "I'm sorry my son, but your too late is askin,
      Mr. Peabody's coaltrain has hauled it away."



                                            Melanie

                                     ...Same as it ever was...
