Here's part of the ogre's realm. He lurks here. His name is Jerry. He
eats cats and dogs. Geese too --- if he can catch them before they take
off.

Sounds like a well rounded ogre. He has a nice nest at least.

Yeah. Never vacuums though. It's a mess.

Sounds nice, and homey.
BTW I wouldn't mind driving around in that 1946 custom super Packard.
I heard from somone who knew Al Barns that he used to go to the plant
and order his Packard custom to his wishes. He was in his latest when
he pulled out in front of a fully loaded Cement Truck. Wamo. gone in a
flash. For those who don't know, Albert Barns founded the Barns
foundation. I worked there for a while.

Was it Barnes with an "e"?

Yeah I posted a picture in another NG a while ago of a dark blue '46 Packard
Custom Super Clipper sedan on the long wheelbase chassis. Is that the one?
Gee that was nice. I liked it myself.

When I was 9 I had an 8 year old buddy on the next block who lived with his
grandparents. His grand dad had a big '40 something Packard. One day we
were in his garage sitting in the Packard and one of us - probably me -
decided to see how the cigarette lighter worked. It worked fine. I tested
it on the seat cover.

Geez I got in trouble for that.

PS --- Now my conscience is really bothering me for that. How could I ever
have done something bad to a Packard? I'm mortified.

What a trauma that must have been. And, yes you are correct. Wasn't
in full gear when I typed before.
The Barnes Foundation, soon to be in Philadelphia. I am glad I got to
work there in Merion at the original place. Quite a wonderful place to
work it was. I did a few major conservation jobs on paper and
uncoverd at least one Picasso unknow until I removed the acid backing
from another. Here is a link to it.

Despite what it says in the video, that is not Linda Ronstadt singing, it's
Sarah Brightman.
I love them both.

How about this one that I listen to often. The other I suggested
because of the scenes from that wonderous movie.

Now that's definitely Linda Ronstadt's version of the song...the original.
I like both versions, but I definitely like Linda's better than Sarah's.
Linda is also credited with being one of the writer's of the song back in
1993.
Thanks for the links.

Rick A
