    Opening the latches...
    The smell of spruce...
    The small neck..the bell sound...
    A reel...A jig...O'Carolin's Concerto...

    I took my beater
    And a stand to work today.
    Those poor eighth graders.

    Or give me Death," Henry said.

    Do you remember
    Sweet Betsy fom Pike, mountains,
    Husband Ike, dog, hog?
