Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for October 14, 2014

Dill:“You GO, young man . . . GO!”

Wow, Dill! You said a mouthful!And, Beni originates the immortal catch-phrase!

Then there’s the banjo player who parked on the street in NYC and accidentally left his car unlocked with his banjo in plain sight in the back seat. When he returned he found the car full of banjos.

Now I have that damn song in my head.

It’s the banjo – chicks dig the banjo solos.

It’s nine o’clock on a WednesdayThe regular crowd rushed right in.There’s crayons and glitter in front of themAs Dill gave Alice a big grin.

He says, “Tommy Fretwork’s work is euphonic!No other banjos have such sound!The strumming’s sad and so sweet"Benni knows something ‘bout Tommy:“You can’t tie the Banjo Man down"

Sing us a song, Mr. Banjo Man.Sing us a song tonight.Well we’re all in the mood for a melodyand “Waddle, Waddle, Cluck, Cluck” seems just right!"

(apologies to everyone, including Billy Joel)

Methinks the Bucket Head is on to something…

I know how you feel Dill

Haha! That phrase never gets old!

Just listened to it a third time. What a perfect song to go with the cartoon! The singing voice, the lyrics, the tune, just perfect! Kudos to Rob McLaren!
