[MissCroft]

I know every single word to that song. Not joking.


It's one of my skills that I use to win friends and influence people.

 

[Mr Deeds]

Here I thought Danmand was going to complain that he didn't like pumpkin pie or shoefly pie or something of the sort.

I would like to go on record as not liking pumpkin pie.

 

[Yoga Face]

Met the guy at Mariposa which I used to volunteer at as the MC , more or less kinda as Mariposa has a rather loose structure to it so I took over the mike and everyone seemed cool with it

His best song is:

Starry, starry night

Paint your palette blue and gray

Look out on a summer's day

With eyes that know the darkness in my soul

about Vincent van Gogh


American Pie is nonsense thrown at a wall hoping it will stick

He seemed like a nice guy

Also became instant friends with Murray McLauchlan

He is instant friends with everyone

Met Joan Baez as well

we briefly talked about her great friend Bob Dylan

She is a wonderful Lady

Now that's funny....

 

[MissCroft]

Starry, starry night

Paint your palette blue and gray

Look out on a summer's day

With eyes that know the darkness in my soul

about Vincent van Gogh

For they could not love you
But still your love was true,
And when no hope was left in sight on that starry, starry night,
You took your life as lovers often do

But I could've told you, Vincent,
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.

I would like to go on record as not liking pumpkin pie.

You'd like my pumpkin pie. I do it Jamaican-style and put rum in it.

 

[nondescriptive]

If I recall, the song was so long that it did not fit on one side of the 45 rpm single, it was continued on the flip side.

I would give it a try. Surely, rum and cognac as an ingredient improves most food.

Rum and cognac improve many things.

Miss Cloe is one grandpa I don't mind hanging out with.

LOL


Did you know Roberta Flack wrote the song "Killing me Softly (with his song)" about American Pie?

 

[Aardvark154]

Rum and cognac improve many things.

Bourbon as well in the case of Pumpkin Pie.

For they could not love you
But still your love was true,
And when no hope was left in sight on that starry, starry night,
You took your life as lovers often do

But I could've told you, Vincent,

Vincent is a great song.

Hopefully, I'd be surprised, but one wonders how many teens when it occasionally plays on the radio know who it is about.

Don McLean is a briiliant songwriter. This in my opinion is his best song:www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDUIPJzimX0
