Singin' the Blues or any other durn thing ya want.

The last time I saw Andy was in a country video of Brad Paisley's. His face looked like it was puffy, he's 82 years old.

[Arcey]

He was back in Sentara Norfolk General Hospital a few months ago under an alias. Lives in Manteo, NC. He was back home before it was reported. Good ta see the reporters had some respect for his privacy.

General has a heck of a rep as a heart treatment center on the right coast. Why I find a l'il comfort in Betsy bein' in Leigh Memorial, the original of which me 'n the fat lady were born. They're sister hospitals.   

[Texas Lawdog]

It's good that she's in a hospital that has a reputation for good health care.

[Leo Tanner]

Very good.  The hospital that dealt with my Mom fer 4 years was amazing.  They just kept pullin rabbits out of their hats everytime things went wrong.  The place is in Flagstaff and I have more respect for them folks than I can say.  Darn near miracle workers if you ask me.

[Texas Lawdog]

M D Anderson Hospital in Houston gave us 8 more years of life for my Dad. I can't say enough about the quality of care he received there and the knowledge of the staff.

[Leo Tanner]

Been thinkin on all the kids taday.  Thought about ma almost grown daughter an this come ta mind.  Pulled it up an had one them allergy attacks. 
All you dads with little girls out there, this ones fer you.  Don't know what the heck Vienna has ta do with anything, but this man could write a song.

Slow down, you crazy child
You're so ambitious for a juvenile
But then if you're so smart, tell me
Why are you still so afraid?

Where's the fire, what's the hurry about?
You'd better cool it off before you burn it out
You got so much to do and
Only so many hours in a day

But you know that when the truth is told...
That you can get what you want or you can just get old
You're gonna kick off before you even
Get halfway through
When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?

Slow down, you're doing fine
You can't be everything you want to be
Before your time
Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight
Tonight,...
Too bad but it's the life you lead
You're so ahead of yourself that you forgot what you need
Though you can see when you're wrong, you know
You can't always see when you're right. you're right

You've got your passion, you've got your pride
But don't you know that only fools are satisfied?
Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true
When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?

Slow down, you crazy child
And take the phone off the hook and disappear for awhile
It's all right, you can afford to lose a day or two
When will you realize... Vienna waits for you?
And you know that when the truth is told
That you can get what you want or you can just get old
You're gonna kick off before you even get half through
Why don't you realize, Vienna waits for you
When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?

[Willie Dixon]

[Leo Tanner]

Well I was thinkin mebbe he meant a nice safe place.  That were my DAD perspective on it at least.

[Texas Lawdog]

Ah! Vienna sausage, rat cheese, and saltines. my favorite snack.

[Leo Tanner]

See now niether of ya got no prodgeny of the female variety er otherwise.  Wouldn't be suprised if Willie were callin me in 15 years er so sayin "Leo, my daughters actin strange all a sudden, what gives?"

[Texas Lawdog]

Victoria is my female child prodigy.

[Leo Tanner]

Victoria is my female child prodigy.

Do she play the pianer?

[Texas Lawdog]

Nope, She's huntin'/guard dog.

[Leo Tanner]

There's a big differnce tween progeny an progidy Pop.

Warning to all.  I never cared fer the Carpenters an never sat through an entire album of theirs.  Well it happened tanight an I'm still wipin' the blood outta my ears.  Beyond the hits we all know an love they also managed ta destroy some really good songs like Jumbalaya.  I seriously need ta clense ma palate.



hat is in hand

[Texas Lawdog]

Leo, Victoria is the daughter I never had, she's both a progeny and a prodigy.

[Willie Dixon]

See now niether of ya got no prodgeny of the female variety er otherwise.  Wouldn't be suprised if Willie were callin me in 15 years er so sayin "Leo, my daughters actin strange all a sudden, what gives?"

I'd have to get to know a girl first, then well have the daughter, and then be able to call you! LOL  I dunno if any of that will happen anytime soon, let alone as quick as 15 years! LOL

[Leo Tanner]

Yeah, I thought on that when I was typin it, just didn't wanna pitcher maself much older

Did I mention I loathe the carpenters?  Oh yeah, guess I did.

[Texas Lawdog]

I would like to know Karen's brother. He had a collection of "muscle cars" of the Mopar variety at one time.

[Delmonico]

For today:

And come tell me Sean O'Farrell tell me why you hurry so
Husha buachaill hush and listen and his cheeks were all a glow
I bare orders from the captain get you ready quick and soon
For the pikes must be together by the rising of the moon

By the rising of the moon, by the rising of the moon
For the pikes must be together by the rising of the moon

And come tell me Sean O'Farrell where the gath'rin is to be
At the old spot by the river quite well known to you and me
One more word for signal token whistle out the marchin' tune
With your pike upon your shoulder by the rising of the moon

By the rising of the moon, by the rising of the moon
With your pike upon your shoulder by the rising of the moon

Out from many a mud wall cabin eyes were watching through the night
Many a manly heart was beating for the blessed warning light
Murmurs rang along the valleys to the banshees lonely croon
And a thousand pikes were flashing by the rising of the moon

By the rising of the moon, by the rising of the moon
And a thousand pikes were flashing by the rising of the moon

All along that singing river that black mass of men was seen
High above their shining weapons flew their own beloved green
Death to every foe and traitor! Whistle out the marching tune
And hurrah, me boys, for freedom, 'tis the rising of the moon

'Tis the rising of the moon, 'tis the rising of the moon
And hurrah, me boys, for freedom, 'tis the rising of the moon
