yes, me too doreen

the hotels are filling up here in dallas

here's a tune I recorded the last time this happened

Louisana by Randy Newman

sorry about the lousy recording

this tune was originally written about a storm event in 1921

I took some liberties with the lyric

somebody's been trying wash Narlins away for a long time
"These words don't make me a poet, these Eyes make me a poet."

i was a little baffled today because i thought we did our last Cabaradio show 3 years ago. But I guess it was only 2 years ago. .... because Katrina was 3 years ago and there were pieces in the show about Katrina.

So we only missed last year and this year? I thought we'd missed 3 years of shows but apparently only 2. That's a good thing. Would love to do it again. How about you?

Sorry to change the subject.

(nice recording)

I can't decide if Randy Newman's lyrics were historic or prophetic

"The levees have busted down to the Plaquemine ...."

same thing has happened again
"These words don't make me a poet, these Eyes make me a poet."

The whole thing is just too coincidental for me.....the repubs trying to say, Hey see? Look at us now....Katrina never happened see? :roll:

and to think that McCain intends to accept his nomination via satellite from the hurricane torn gulf coast.... :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:
