Noteworthy for rhyming "poncho" with "I'm gonna drink til I fall unconcho", the sheer beauty of English poetry with Iberian influences:



I wonder if there is such a thing as model trainer halitosis, they do spend an undue amount of time in damp cellars, largely unsuspecting ("his woman and his best friend ... in bed and having fun"), also without much sunlight so I've heard?



There certainly seems to be a market for the cure though:

Ok, ok, I have to pacify them now:

Possibly the first music video ever, considering that Jimmie Rodgers died in 1933.

Now we're getting into anti-Vietnam War songs territory, careful! From HO (correctly: H0, my Märklin-infested brother always referred to it as "H Null") to Uncle Ho, where have you led us, Dave?

Meine Güte, I really admire how you have now udderly compellingly revealed  - for everyone plain to see, no more groping in the dark - the self-evident advantages of O over HO scale. Danke schön, very educational, yet vivid! 8)

Flash thought: You think if one converted to Bhuddism, there might be any chance of being reborn as a classsical guitar?

Mustering my utmost Teutonic self-discipline, I must also observe that Fräulein Greenberg plays guitar well and has a strong and precise right-hand rhythm. I've seen that song botched by so many guitarists who didn't have the right rhythm feel, she doesn't (botch it).

I have no idea what you're talking about. What songs?

I think Ms. Greenberg is D scale, not O scale.

Ok, that's better than "I'm 93 and she's 16"  ;D

I wonder if there is such a thing as model trainer halitosis, they do spend an undue amount of time in damp cellars, largely unsuspecting ("his woman and his best friend ... in bed and having fun"), also without much sunlight so I've heard?

 A little beer helps, I'm often doing this on a Friday eve if the schedule allows......
That's easily a '76 Thunderbird worth of model trains going past.

 I love this song! Haven't heard it in at least 3 1/2 decades, I love her hair  :-*
