For anyone who really wants to track down those obscure references, here's a clip of "Ruby," the bluegrass tune Gord quotes in Thugs.

That's Ricky Skaggs at the age of 7, by the way, on TV with Flatt & Scruggs.

Thanx Skippy.

[Ballgame]

that type of music confuses me

Skippy, I think these would be better lyrics

"One who allows common errors to pass. You never know if a fool like this will actually take your words and make them wrong, ruin the rhythm of your sentences"

In response to overwhelming demand, here's the chord chart:

Skippy the wonder dogs post set me on a hunt for that classic Bluegrass clip. It's a clip of six year old Bluegrass legend Ricky Skaggs. I found this clip of him talking about that day forty years later.

Thanks for that, Phil.

I apologize for the error in my chord chart. For anyone who hasn't been able to get it to sound just right, I left out a "u" in the first line.
