oops - sorry about that post of Ode to Billy Joe - didn’t see it up top - it’s a good one though.
Thank you kindly.
Anyone remember “Small Sad Sam”? A parody of “Big Bad John”. Sam was stuck in an elevator with some other people. Because he was the smallest, they boosted him up to the hatch in the roof and he crawled out. But he just kept going, without stopping to call for help for the others. I cry every time I hear it.
Amazing Grace..

Kingston Trio M T A
[Spoken:]
These are the times that try men’s souls. In the course of our nation’s history, the people of Boston have rallied
Bravely whenever the rights of men have been threatened. Today, a new crisis has arisen. The Metropolitan
Transit Authority, better known as the M. T. A., is attempting to levy a burdensome tax on the population in the
Form of a subway fare increase. Citizens, hear me out! This could happen to you!
[Eight bar guitar, banjo introduction]
Well, let me tell you of the story of a man named Charley on a tragic and fateful day.
He put ten cents in his pocket, kissed his wife and family, went to ride on the M. T. A.
[Chorus:]
Well, did he ever return? No, he never returned and his fate is still unknown. (What a pity! Poor ole Charlie. Shame and scandal. He may ride forever. Just like Paul Revere.)
He may ride forever ‘neath the streets of Boston. He’s the man who never returned.
Charlie handed in his dime at the Kendall Square Station and he changed for Jamaica Plain.
When he got there the conductor told him, “One more nickel.” Charlie couldn’t get off of that train.
[Chorus]
Now, all night long Charlie rides through the station, crying, “What will become of me?!!
How can I afford to see my sister in Chelsea or my cousin in Rocksbury?”
[Chorus]
Charlie’s wife goes down to the Sculley Square Station every day at quarter past two,
And through the open window she hands Charlie a sandwich as the train comes rumblin’ through.
[Chorus]
Now, you citizens of Boston, don’t you think it’s a scandal how the people have to pay and pay?
Fight the fare increase! Vote for George O’Brien! Get poor Charlie off the M. T. A.
[Chorus]
He’s the man who never returned. He’s the man who never returned. Ain’t you Charlie?

I heard a local radio guy suggest that “Fat Bottomed Girls” was perhaps the best rock love song about women that was ever written by a gay guy.

I had Canadian Railroad Trilogy on vinyl, and have copied it to several cassettes over the years. Don’t have any of them left...
What a great song,thanks Wings-n-Wind.
I’ve only made it thru the first hundred posts so far and it’s already bedtime. Even if this one has already been mentioned, it deserves another nomination.
