Gloriha is so not motivated; still plenty of time to the last minute.I don't remember that one, but I sure enjoyed it! Good job, Bruce, but you could probably sing the driver's handbook and sound good :>

Recording information by BronxBruce
Paul Simon's DUNCAN. One of my favorite songs ever. "Just thanking the Lord for my fingers." Is there a better line from any song?
This is Take #1. There are a few flubs I may seek to repair someday. But I'll let it go for now. Thanks Mike for your help.
Here ya go, Benjor -
Couple in the next room
Bound to win a prize
They've been goin' at it all night long
Well, I'm trying to get some sleep
but these motel walls are cheap
Lincoln Duncan is my name
and here's my song
Here's my song
My father was a fisherman
my mama was the fisherman's friend
and I was born in the boredom and the chowder
So when I reached my prime
I left my home in the Maritimes
Headed down the turnpike for New England
Sweet New England
Holes in my confidence
Holes in the knees of my jeans
I was left without a penny in my pocket
Oo-ooo-oo wee I was about
destituted as a kid could be
And I wished I wore a ring
so I could hock it
I'd like to hock it
A young girl in a parking lot
was preaching to a crowd
singing sacred songs and
reading from the Bible
Well I told her I was lost
and she told me all about the Pentecost
And I seen that girl as the road to my survi-val
Just later on the very same night
When I crept to her tent with my flashlight
and my long years of innocence ended
Well she took me to the woods sayin'
"Here comes somethin' and it feels so good!"
And just like a dog I was befriended
I was befriended
Oh, oh, what a night
Oh what a garden of delight
Even now that sweet memory lingers
I was playin' my guitar
lying underneath the stars
Just thankin' the Lord for my fingers
For my fingers
