    Hey Nancy!

    sometimes it's kinda hard to keep up with you...

    Is this a good thing? <patent pending>

    Life is good,

    It could be... ;)

    And what are you quoting in the subject line this time...? It's not
    something that I recognize....

    Hallo Nancy!

    And what are you quoting in the subject line this time...?

    "Woke Up This Morning" by Alabama 3. The verse that comes from is;

    ----- ye olde cut n' paste starts
    Woke up this mornin'
    Got yourself a gun
    Your mama always said you'd be the Chosen One
    She said, "You're one in a million
    You got to burn to shine"
    But you were born under a bad sign
    With a blue moon in your eyes
    ----- ye olde cut n' paste ends

    Looks like I got the subject slightly wrong but close enough.

    Het leven is goed,
    Maurice

    That explains why I didn't recognize it... never listened to them...
    Thanks for the citation... :)

    Hey Nancy!

    never listened to them

    Same here. I first heard it on the radio when they (CBC Radio One) were doing a week long tribute show on TV show theme songs. I immediately liked it especially after hearing the real story behind it.

    Not bad... I presume from memory...?

    Yes. The line made an impression on me ... along with the rest of the song. It is definetly worth a listen or two.

    Life is good,
    Maurice

    Knowing the back story can make a difference... :) My radio station,
    being all classical music, wouldn't likely be running that sort of show,
    except maybe as part of the Saturday line-up...

    If I have the opportunity present.... :)
