It HAD to Happen..... (more levity?!?) - BettyO - 11-07-2012 12:34 PM
Guess who's now a recording artist --
That's right - Our Own Lew Powell !!
I couldn't believe this, but it's on Amazon..... a "One Hit Wonder?"

The term "Artist" is definately a subjective interpretation. IMO, don't subject yourself.
I think when he got hung, it damaged his vocal cords
I give this "artist" a
.Fido
(how come I get stuck doing the negative reviews?)
With appologies to BettyO

I think it's absolutely hysterical -- especially considering that the last track on this album is called "False Teeth!"

LMAO I needed this today.

Poor Lew! Whoever this is, had to know about Powell's teeth, I think regarding the last track at least!

A cover tune of the Monkee's song "What Am I Doing Hangin' Round" can't be far off...

You creative minds have a new thread going already on song titles reminiscent of the assassination. Years ago, a gang of us Surratt ladies entertained ourselves on a long trip to somewhere (yes, in a car - not on marijuana!) by naming amusement rides and then foods after the conspirators. Betty was in on it, so maybe she can remember some of the things we came up with. I think we got started with a Booth Burger.
When you deal with our hobby (my job) on a daily basis, you have to have a sense of humor.

I think the B Side would have to be Papa Don't Preach (I'm in trouble deep).
RE: It HAD to Happen..... (more levity?!?) - BettyO - 11-08-2012 12:00 AM
How about "Foot Loose" or "Hangin' on" or "Son of a Preacher Man".....

How about if Ned Spangler did "If I were a Carpenter"
RE: It HAD to Happen..... (more levity?!?) - BettyO - 11-08-2012 08:52 AM
Or Davey Herold did "Swamp Thing" or "You're so Vain", and JWB - "I'm the Greatest Star". Surratt could do "Brother on the Run".....Mary Surratt could do "Hot Mama" and Atzerodt, "Bottle of Wine", while Dr. Mudd could do "Love Doctor"..... All the boys and Mom Surratt could also do "Jail House Rock".
Alexander Gardner could do the Ringo version of "Photograph"......
OK -- this is getting a bit deep..... but would LOVE to know just WHO the guy is who made this recording....

Great song selections. I bet we could come up with enough to fill up a juke box. Lew's favorite would have to be Skip A Rope!

Ohhhh - yes! I remember that, Laurie! I think it was on one of our many Gettysburg trips.....

The Lincolns could sing "Bad Moon Rising."
