| Well, how do you like it so far? queried Alan after WIAK. “We’ve sung songs about rogues, sailors, dead people…we even have a song about a dead horse. That happened a lot in Newfoundland for some reason. When the snow melts and the ice softens, a horse can fall t’rough the ice, into the pond.” They talked about how we don’t know snow here. And what we consider to be a big storm is what they brush off “old puss in the snow.” That was enough to make Sean do some serious thinking. He mentioned that “you have to realize that we all will die.” And then begin making up words to a song on the spot, one based on a Volvo commercial. He was really quite good, coming up with the meter and rhymes spontaneously! I was impressed. He even had several verses he sang. Poor Alan and Bob looked like they didn’t know WHAT he was going to do next! |
