@SloopJohnB  loved his music , died way too young .  Also Operator.....won't you help me make this call ,  no one there I really wanted to talk to ,  you can keep the dime a,  imagine there was a time when it was a dime !?   No more pay phones any longer .


@Kitty Galore   I know about the payphones, right?  And can you imagine how dirty they were after the way we wipe everything down since Covid?  Lol. 

 

As far as his songs, also loved, You Don't Mess Around With Jim, Time In A Bottle and I'll Have To Say I Love You In A Song.

@SloopJohnB    I know after Covid can't imagine using one of them not knowing who had used that phone before us lol !   They most likely would have shut them down.   Another thing from the past......

i had forgotten about his other songs ....  I remember every one of them now that you sparked my memory.   I do love Time in a Bottle. . His songs ,  except you don't messs around with Jim were melancholy, but beautiful songs.  Great lyrics.

Talk about things you'd like to do
You've got to have a dream
If you don't have a dream
How you gonna have a dream come true?

My woman says it's a dog gone shame the way
Some men bring their wives money
And furs and jewelry and I come home
Ain't got a dime and smellin' like a brewery
I'm drunk again
I've been been drinkin' that Gordons gin

 

" Im Drunk Again". Paul Butterfield band 

( original by Pigboy Crabshaw I think)
