      Guy’s got a lot of songs…

      I did this meme with Waits also — the only one we had the same was the first one.

      Good stuff, Waits.

      I did, too. Used “Buzz Fledderjohn” and “Don’t Go Into The Barn” for the same answers. However, I’m an “Altar Boy” and my soul’s condition is “All Stripped Down”.
