@edgarblythe,
Good morning, WA2K and edgar. Loved our Brit's "down and gone song". Reminds me of "he Tide Rises; The Tide Falls."
Loved that Teddy Bear song, buddy. Rather reminded me of a song I used to listen to and cry. It went something like, His name they called him Willie Roy. He was just a little crippled boy. That's all that I can remember.
Well, today is Neil Young's birthday, and another surprise. He was a canuck from Toronto.
Heart of Gold, y'all.

Now, the poem by Longfellow.
The tide rises, the tide falls,
The twilight darkens, the curlew calls;
Along the sea-sands damp and brown
The traveler hastens toward the town,
And the tide rises, the tide falls.
Darkness settles on roofs and walls,
But the sea, the sea in darkness calls;
The little waves, with their soft, white hands
Efface the footprints in the sands,
And the tide rises, the tide falls.
The morning breaks; the steeds in their stalls
Stamp and neigh, as the hostler calls;
The day returns, but nevermore
Returns the traveler to the shore.
And the tide rises, the tide falls
Incidentally, just heard from my daughter concerning the Bob Dylan concert.
Her one word was AWESOME!
