BOS2 to another all-time fave, one I'll never tire of: "Brandy (You're a Fine Girl)."


there's a girl
in this harbor town
and she works
layin' sailors down


Now THAT's a fine girl!

proxy of you-know-who, The Dan, with another of their "is the protagonist looking for drugs or gay sex?" narratives.  A fab set -- not  quite as nugget-laden as Rob's, but delightful nonetheless.

If Bob really wanted to play an instrumental that would make me happy, he should have stuck with "Dueling Banjos"

have we EVER heard that? even on a "Strictly Instrumental"?  A great lost classic, for sure.  And another BOS to Paul and his funky little mama. or fockin' little mama. Or whatever.

Awesome scene from a classic movie, and damn fine picking as well, what's to despise?
