It reminded me of a tiny something I was going to post the other day... I was driving on the freeway and there was a earlier model Porsche with a metal medallion on the back grill of the flying red horse. Thought of the song, of course. Gina P.S. I did not intentionally rhyme horse with course. We know that has been done before. In fact, Mr. Ed used to live up the street from where I used to live. Actually, the guy who played Wilbur owned the property and took Mr. Ed home on break. A celeb, who I will not name, now lives there and she told me the whole story. She is thrilled to live where Mr. Ed lived :o) Ok, now I have totally dated myself. Oh well. - ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Monday, August 29, 2005 7:13 PM Subject: Gorka at The Great River Folk Festival, August 26, 27, > Just back from the Great River Folk Festival in Lacrosse, Wisconsin. > > This year's Friday night concert was a co-bill, John Gorka and Claudia > Schmidt, a round robin show.
