It is one they've been doing since the busking days. They trot it out when they are somewhere for which Mike has some good "local color" material. They also tend to play it in places they haven't been in a while (or ever) because it is a good crowd pleaser that shows off their improvisational abilities. A.J.

Nope, it's on there! And it's a brilliant album, with a lot of very subtle musical jokes (e.g., at the end of "Cheese and Onions," there's an orchestral build-up similar to the one at the end of "A Day in the Life," followed not by the piano chord that lasts forever, but a one-note, staccato "Plonk!"). "Archaeology" (the spoof on "Anthology") is good too, but mostly it sounds John Lennon-ish rather than Beatle-ish. - -- "I wish EVERY day could be a shearing festival!" -- The 10 Commandments =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+ Keith Ammann is geenius@albany.net "I notice you have a cloud of doom.

That is funny. I suppose you are right there, now that I think of it I guess that one isn't on the album. Yet I know it. I guess I've seen the movie too many times! What is very funny is that there is no way that Innes could have lost that suit. Of course it sounds like Get Back, it is a clear parody! Parody is protected speech. You can't sue someone for copyright violation when they are doing a parody. (Well you can sue them, but you won't win) Of course that doesn't matter when the sueer has much deeper pockets than the sueee. That is an inequity we need to address in our society.
