To all of you who hang in even in light of the notice that the site would be down now.

Keep your lamps trimmed and burnin'.

2. LOL, My first instinct when I come upon a "road closed" sign
is to continue on and see what "they" are up to...

4. I wanted to see what would happen when the world ended. So far, it's been
a big disappointment.

11. Mine, as well..
And Mickey Mantle's, too.

That's why we picked it.

When Mickey and Bob Ross died within a week, I knew the End was coming.

But do not worry about me for I will be wherever I am going.

13. I think that I am too old and tired to hang around the Lounge
Every time that I have wandered over there, I just felt out of my naturally comfortable element.

I don't think that I could ever be an active part of that business.

I am quite content to spend whatever time I have in this forum.

Maybe I am mistaken, but thanks for the prompt.

Tom

Keep Your Lamps Trimmed And Burning

Rev. Gary Davis

Mother, don't you stop a-prayin'
Father, keep right on prayin'
Mother, don't you stop a-prayin'
For this ol' world is almost done
Keep your lamps trimmed and burnin'
Keep your lamps trimmed and burnin'
Keep your lamps trimmed and burnin'
For this ol' world is almost done
Sister, don't you stop a-prayin'
Brother, keep right on prayin'
Sister, don't you stop a-prayin'
For this ol' world is almost done
Keep your lamps trimmed and burnin'
Keep your lamps trimmed and burnin'
Keep your lamps trimmed and burnin'
For this ol' world is almost done


Sometimes it feels like it is getting done sooner....

15. Reverend Gary Davis?
It was written by Blind Willie Johnson.

And if you don't have any of his stuff, let me know and I will tell you what to find.
