I managed to find Frank Crumit on Napster last night.

I plan to have them play 'The Pig Got Up and Slowly Walked Away' at my funeral.......

[Simon (Highwayman)]

He sings it sounding drunk.....

PIG GOT UP AND SLOWLY WALKED AWAY, THE
(Music: F W Bowers / Lyrics: Benjamin Hapgood Burt)


Frank Crumit - 1934
Johnny Bond - 1966
Jim Croce - 1975

Also recorded by: Sam Hinton; Rudy Vallee;
Harry Belafonte; Clinton Ford; Acker Bilk.



One evening in October
When I was about one-third sober
And was taking home a load with manly pride
My poor feet began to stutter
So I lay down in the gutter
And a pig came up and lay down by my side

Then we sang "It's All Fair Weather"
And "Good Fellows Get Together"
Till a lady passing by was heard to say
She says, "You can tell a man who boozes
By the company he chooses"
And the pig got up and slowly walked away

Yes, the pig got up and slowly walked away
Slowly walked away, slowly walked away
Yes, the pig got up and he turned and winked at me
As he slowly walked away

I also well remember
One evening in November
When I was creeping home at break of day
For in my exhilaration
I engaged in conversation
With a cab-horse, right on the corner of Broadway

I was filled up to the eyeballs
With a flock of gin and highballs
So I whispered to the cab-horse old and grey
I says, "It's these all-night homeward marches
That gave us both our fallen arches."
And the old horse laughed and slowly walked away

Yes, the old horse laughed and slowly walked away
Slowly walked away, he slowly walked away
And the old horse laughed and he turned and winked at me
As he slowly walked away
As he slowly walked away

its only 2:30 in the afternoon - how are you already drunk? and have you un-sticked yourself from the bed yet?

[Simon (Highwayman)]

Done a days work now. Just off for lottery tickets. I have to go past the pheasant on the way home.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Go past?

Not where a pub is concerned anyway...

You may listen but it's been banned in my house.

Need a good version of "Ain't No Sunshine" to youtube. Need a little sunshine in my day today :(

It's got to be the original Bill Withers version in by opinion. - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIdIqb...

[Patti (baconater)]

It was probably trying to come through the wall to meet up with GL's washing machine.

Dave has Edgar Broughton Band playing. Meh.

[Simon (Highwayman)]

Soundtrack to 'More'
Pink Floyd.

[Patti (baconater)]

Now he's playing Gentle Giant. Double meh.

[Rosemary (grooving with the Picts)]

Belle and Sebastian, The Boy with the Arab Strap. One of my favourite albums EVER.

[P.A.]

I'm listening to an album by a guy called Stephen Ridley. The album is called Butterfly in a Hurricane. I saw him down in Camden Town today, playing on a piano on the street outside one of the markets. Being today, in London, it was about -4, and he had to play in gloves, but he still sat there pounding away with a surprising dexterity for a guy whose fingers must have been numb, even with the wool gloves. I had to buy the album. Really passionate, energetic singer-songwriter, the album is just his voice and the piano, a mix of jazz, blues and ballads. Any fan of piano-centered music should buy this album.

[Maureen (Mews)]

Jose Gonzalez - Heartbeats

Love this song. It does make me cry though.

[Geoff (G. Robbins) (merda constat variat altitudo)]

Listening to Duke by Genesis.

[Elaine]

Simon (Highwayman) wrote: "Just heard Whitney Houston is dead......."

Sad news. She was only 48 apparently.

[Simon (Highwayman)]

She used to be the goodie goodie of music years ago didn't she?

What went wrong?

[Chris]

She went off the rails due to drugs and alcohol several years ago and I don't think she ever recovered.

[Elle]

I'm listening to her albums today in her honour.

[Simon (Highwayman)]

I just played all her Napster tracks. She had a good voice and other nice features....

Money really doesn't always buy happiness.

[Geoff (G. Robbins) (merda constat variat altitudo)]

Sadly her voice was badly affected by her drug abuse, after that there was only one way, down.

[Geoff (G. Robbins) (merda constat variat altitudo)]

Listening to Solar Fire by Manfred Mann's Earthband this afternoon.

[Patti (baconater)]

Dave played manfred Mann yesterday.

Listening to Heart and Soul by Joy Division.

[Elle]

My Mother has that Lana person one from the US - I personally find her truly horrible.

[Patti (baconater)]

Dave's just made a move toward the sound system! On no!

I was having such a lovely, chilled afternoon, too. :(

Oh Lordy. He's playing The Monkees. Shoot me. Shoot me now.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Bang, there goes tranquilizer dart. Into Dave.

[Karina]

The original plastic band. Mind you, some great writers worked for them, not least Neil Diamond.

[Simon (Highwayman)]

Dave needs a holiday. I've seen it before, when they start playing the monkeys it is time to evac them.

[Patti (baconater)]

He needs something, that's for sure.

Alf term next week should help, I hope.

[Patti (baconater)]

Oops. If anyone sees an 'haitch' anywhere, it's mine. I seem to have dropped one.
