No, not message board posts. Today I completed 1000 data units for the Seti@home project. I now feel like I have sufficiently done my part for the cause.
By the way, nobody’s out there. Sorry.
MPSIMS enough for ya?
“Did you ever wake up,
Bullfrogs on your mind?”
Um, I think it’s, “Did you ever wake up with Bullfrogs on your mind,” and the credit ought to be Bromberg/Terwilliger, Sweet Jelly Roll Music, 1976.
(Not to be picky or anything.)
Not coincidentally, I think yer right: Nobody is out here.

Doc, Doc docdocdocdocdoc.
Um, the quote is verbatim and is from William Harris’ **1928 ** recording of “Bullfrog Blues”. Not to be a jerk about this, but since I was challenged and reprimanded, I will defend Harris’ credit. Unless you are implying some sort of time-travel scenario, whereby he traveled to 1976 to plagarize a song written after his death. I love David Bromberg, but the song you’re thinking of was an *homage *to the original “Bullfrog Blues” and substantially different, thus they can claim credit for that 1976 version, but not the original.
Hate to be one to say there’s no Santa Claus, but Eric Clapton didn’t write “Crossroads Blues”, Mick Jagger didn’t write “Love In Vain” and Madonna didn’t write “American Pie” either. Sorry, but you had it coming. No hard feelings, Doc.
“Did you ever wake up,
Bullfrogs on your mind?”
That’s ridiculous. Next you’ll be telling us that Billy Idol didn’t write ‘Mony Mony’ after all.

right around the corner.
Well I’ll be danged, when did this Santa Claus thing come out? Does Macy’s know?
Seriously, I learn something new every day. I thought I knew most of the old standards, but I’d never heard of Harris’ effort before now. Odd that Bromberg didn’t credit his own effort as an adaptation, since he’s usually pretty good at giving credit where it’s due.
And don’t give me this crap about Jagger and Clapton. Geez, next you’ll be trying to get me to believe that McCartney was in a band before ‘Wings.’
