Priceless--and advice that actually taught me a couple of important things I now try to keep in mind if such a situation arises, from a 'silly old country song', no less.
The inimitable Shel Silverstein wrote this song. I have been a fan of his ever since I was a kid. He was a genius and a true renaissance man who seemed to excel at everything he did. He wrote songs in a number of genres (NOT just country-western), was an brilliant artist and cartoonist, and published books of prose and poetry in a number of styles, including children's books. About the only thing he lacked was a decent singing voice; although his songs were so good, and his style so unique, that audiences didn't seem to mind.
Shel was amazing, just ask the guys from DR. HOOK they did over 20 of his songs including "Cover of the Rolling Stone" I had two shel favorites "Big Four Poster Bed" a hit for Brenda lee and "The Unicorn Song" by the Irish Rovers. And as for shel "A front row seat to hear ol Johnny Sing" is a stand out.
Great Shel Silverstein tune, so many of his songs done by Bobby Bear, Dr. Hook etc. If only we could have had Shel sing more of his own songs it would have been perfect. About the only one we hear is his "to her old Johnny sing". What a record Shel Silverstein sings his hits would have been I can hear his singing "That Four Poster Bed" and "Ha Loretta" and "The Cover of the Rolling Stone" dang..
This is when singers sounded just like they did on their recordings. Today you don't need to be a good singer to sale recordings. Auto tune will do the singing for you.
