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.
 
I like pie Miss Croft. Anyway I know all the words to it as well its was the song that played at all my high school dances and parties. I think I even got layed to it one night
 
When I thought of American Pie, this is the first thing that same to mind;

The original sheet with the song's lyrics on is being sold at auction, for $1.2 million
 
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.
 
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
 
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.

You'd like my pumpkin pie. I do it Jamaican-style and put rum in it. :)
 
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.
 
Look kids, all the grandpas have gotten together to talk about music in the olden days.

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

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.
