Western Sizzler, Here I Come (and other Vaughnism's)

My Friday evening was once again enhanced after such a long guitar lesson hiatus. Here are a few quotes and topics of interest.

First, after expressing my gratitude that it was Friday, "If I were in a celebratory mood, I would go to a fancy restaurant. Western Sizzler, Here I come!!!"

"I love the song Arkansas Traveler. It makes me think of administration." The words to Arkansas Traveler are as follows:

Oh once upon a time in Arkansas

An old man sat in his little cabin door,

And fiddled at a tune that he liked to hear

,A jolly old tune that he play'd by ear.

-

It was raining hard but the fiddler didn't care

He saw'd away at the popular air,

Tho' his roof tree leaked like a water fall

That didn't seem to bother the man at all.

-

A traveler was riding by that day,

And stopped to hear him a-practicing away

The cabin was afloat and his feet were wet,

But still the old man didn't seem to fret.

-

So the stranger said: "Now the way it seems to me,

You'd better mend your roof," said he.

But the old man said, as he played away:

"I couldn't mend it now, it's a rainy day.

-

"The traveler replied: "That's all quite true,

But this, I think, is the thing for you to do;

Get busy on a day that is fair and bright,

Then pitch the old roof till it's good and tight.

-

"But the old man kept on a-playing at his reel,

And tapped the ground with his leathery heel:

"Get along," said he, "for you give me a pain;

My cabin never leaks when it doesn't rain."

-

"I have been thinking about possible venues for you to perform. Do you have any friends that sing or play instruments?" To which I replied, "Does guitar hero count?"
