What a great post. I'm curious which recording of "Humpty Dumpty" you're talking about. From the album Mad Hatter? I ask because I've viewed/listened to this live version more times than I can count: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vrLAK_CZrY Great tune.

Yes. It's incredibly fun. The adjustment period can take a while, and it can be tedious and frustrating at times, but it's worth it.

Fascinating. This thread courtesy of the guy who chimed in on the "called a gay slur by a booking agent" thread twice -- once to pooh-pooh the incident, and the second time to tell the OP to "grow a pair". You wouldn't expect that someone who is so cavalier with his own language would be so...
