Dan, when is your birthday? I think it would be a most appropriate
gesture if everyone on the clarinet list would contribute about three
cents. Then, we would have enough money to buy a copy of the tape of this
movie for you!

In addition to your comparison to the "Watermelon" song, some of my
favorites include "Put Your Snout under the Spout where the Gospel Comes
Out," and "I've Got Tears in my Ears from Lyin' on my Back Cryin' over
You."
