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 SadSadSad.

Fido Big Grin
(how come I get stuck doing the negative reviews?)

With appologies to BettyO
So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in?

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

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...Smile

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). Smile

How about "Foot Loose" or "Hangin' on" or "Son of a Preacher Man".....

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!
