Finally having the priviledge of reading...Hi Eric!<br /><br />Finally having the priviledge of reading this song.<br /><br />I LOVE it and that ending is killer! Oh, sheesh -- I did NOT intend that pun.<br /><br />You have a real talent, run with it and make it soar.<br /><br />My only suggestion, for a song, is to double up the verses, then hit us with that chorus!!<br /><br />AWESOME, my friend!<br /><br />HAPPY NEW YEAR!! It's been a real treat getting to know you and your fun-nutty ways. <br /><br />xoJannie Funsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11595786402510366043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249823059195376824.post-65923541295324123562010-12-16T07:39:49.743-05:002010-12-16T07:39:49.743-05:00That held me right to the end...I hear mountain mu...That held me right to the end...I hear mountain music a comin'!Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04874006676004790578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249823059195376824.post-73142047917364502292010-12-12T06:59:11.653-05:002010-12-12T06:59:11.653-05:00Great piece Eric, enjoyed this.

(You always ...Anthony - thanks for your FOUR cents!<br />(You always give more than expected)<br /><br />Neva - I've often wondered where 'fine kettle of fish' comes from - it's such an odd expression.<br /><br />Monkey Man - I could write a little tune for it I suppose. Will you sing it?<br /><br />Mel - you and Monkey Man must be muscially inclined. I suppose the repeating part seems musical.<br /><br />Hedgewitch - I think they should have an electric recliner, or perhaps a sofa.<br /><br />Gabriela - Thank you! I'm glad you liked it.<br /><br />Adam - Thanks for the tip... I'll check into it!<br /><br />Booguloo - Thanks for stopping by!<br /><br />Carrie - I can dog-paddle and I don't mind swimming with the fishes. (But sleeping with them is another matter!)<br /><br />Patti - C&W might just be the way to go with this one, musically. (Where's my guitar?)<br /><br />Brian - Thanks! I wanted it to have some humor, but not be totally farcical.<br /><br />Teresa - Glad you liked it! I've seen these scenes in movies often enough that it wasn't too hard to imagine.<br /><br />kkrige - It's not too hard to swim in a kettle... but it's awfully warm!<br /><br />June_Butterfly - I'm sure the sitting is hardly the worst part. (The anticipation must be brutal!) Thank you for the compliments!<br /><br />Anita - Yes, in reality it would be a bad situation. I tried to soften it a bit with the sing-song repetition and a touch of humor.<br /><br />Belinda - There's no way to condone such acts, but I'm sure plenty of us can understand the emotion behind them.<br /><br />My thanks to everybody for your kinds words. This was the most comments I've ever received on a piece, and I must say that it was very rewarding reading them all. :)Bubbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16927345716112968689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249823059195376824.post-70784336975730137282010-12-08T09:23:49.592-05:002010-12-08T09:23:49.592-05:00A seemingly serious episode with a lot of humour b...A seemingly serious episode with a lot of humour behind it.
