I am the fountain of affection
I'm the instrument of joy
And to keep the good times rolling
I'm the boy, I'm the boy,

Now must it be a song they wrote, or just one they do?

If it is one they wrote, Bad As I am, Ordinary Day or Goin Up.

If just one they do, and perhaps my fave... Ferryland Sealer

Well there’ll be music all around you, You should see the way it feels

I've got to add Own True Way to the pot. I just listened to Sea of No Cares for the first time in awhile and it struck me that this tune really rings true for the band now. They're playing what they want and mixing it up without new material to promote and we're all happy as clams. They really are doing it their own way and we like 'em even more for it.

I'm adding Time Brings to this, its so lovely. I want to hear Alan sing it now that he has much better vocal control and style from the last 16 years.

Peace Love and GBS,

Loula
