Hey Nick,

More good stuff, of course! It's snowing to beat the band here in the river bottom............-11F last night. All of this reading and a new Trophy Room Books catalog......will keep me going in between shoveling snow.

Joe

Hi Joe!,
You say you have a band down in the river bottom?
Here you go pal ... sing along and stay warm!

Bobbie Gentry & the Okolona River Bottom Band:

"Chickasaw County Child"
La la la la la
Ooh hey hey hey
La la la la la

Every year about this time the local gentry
Have a meeting in Chickasaw land
They all come to judge each and every entry
That wants to try out for the Okolona band

All the way from the Kosciusko
Up from Biloxi Shore
All in all theres not a half grown man
That wouldn't like to be
In the Okolona River Bottom Band

La la la la la
Ooh hey hey hey
La la la la la

The semi-annual
Come as you can-ual
Five man band-ual
Okolona River Bottom Band

La la la la la
Ooh hey hey hey
La la la la la

The backwood majority
No hold barr-edy
Come as you are-edy
Okolona River Bottom Band
La la la la la

All the way from Kosciusko
Up from Biloxi Shore
All in all theres not a half grown man
Who wouldn't like to be
In the Okolona River Bottom Band

La la la la la

See, I told you society
Green apple pie-ety
Delta variety
Okolona River Bottom Band

La la la la la
Ooh hey hey hey
La la la la la

Damn Nick,

You need an agent..........I THINK I volunteer...........where in the hell did you find that? I was thinking..........no, neither one of us could carry a tune in a bucket.............so just carry on. I think I'll just go shovel snow.............thanks....

Joe

Nickudu,

You have a PM.

Joe

Thank you, once again.

Nickudu,

Thank you not just from my side but also from friends here whom I have shown your links to. We just might do a trip to India next March together to show them around the place, so that their wives could shop and they could visit the tomb of St Thomas the Apostle at Chennai among a number of historic sites there.

Best wishes and thanks again,

Nickudu:
I am indebted to you for the link. I heard Lady Baden-Powell speak at the World Boy Scout Jamboree in Idaho in 1967. My father was an Eagle and so was I -- hence the name.
