So many of GL's lyrics have a thread of "real life" woven through them. Old Dan's Records:

" I remember my aunt Bea,she danced with Dan till two or three."
"If old Dan could see us now, he'd be so proud."
"Back to 1935, jitterbug and jive."
"High above the fireplace, there's a smile on Old Dan's face."

You're so right Ron, about the good book parallel and our imagintions. I believe Old Dan lived. And so did aunt Bea. And I'd love to see that painting above the fireplace.
