I do believe "superiorsings1" got it all right. Now, I wish more than ever I had seen that Soundstage show. My daughter has noted all the songs dealing (directly or indirectly) with seafaring, sailors, bodies of water, ships, et al, on the two GL discs we play while moving. I guess I hadn't especially noticed that before, but the percentage is rather high. Now, I have to find a copy of that CD that has "Sea of Tranquility" on it to see what she thinks of that somewhat odd piece. (I note that he uses the word "quails" to make a rhyme. Are there quails in Canada? Also elks and mooses and deers?) And I'm still trying to explain to her what a "hangdog hotel" might be like. Lord knows I've stayed in a few of 'em, especially overseas. She knows what "pass the jar" means, since I occasionally enjoy a bourbon and branch (and iced tea) in an old Mason jar. She has a little cheap requinto guitar I bought many years ago, so she certainly knows what an "old guitar" feels like. I'm now waiting for the day she asks me to explain what GL means when he sings about "all the lovely ladies in their finery tonight," the gents who pursue them, and "Heaven can be yours for just an hour." Hmmmm--does that song take place in a coastal city and is it populated by seafarers, too? Fires are out. We got a little rain, but not much and still need lots more. Y'all stay safe.
