Hi, guys (and all),

Our discussion of the merit (and mostly the lack thereof) of changing the 
lyrics when you're singing a song written by a person of the other gender 
brought to mind James Taylor's "Millworker" (the lyrics are from the point of 
view of an exhausted and hopeless woman who works in a mill), which I first 
heard when he performed it on Saturday Night Live sometime back in the late 
'70's or early '80's.  Brought tears to my eyes then and ever since.  I think 
it's on the Flag album.  Bette Midler did a version of it.  Know of it (silly 
question, knowing Bob :-)?

Fondly,

Walt
