LEE DICKEY - "laurie" Tablature

Official LEE DICKEY Tablature & Sheet Music »

OK, I had *sworn* that I wasn't going to submit this weeper to Andrew's
Ace Archives even as a joke (should I wait for April Fool's Day or
Halloween?) - but no sooner had I acquired a copy on the COLLECTOR'S
ESSENTIALS: THE '60S comp than it was mentioned in Rev. Billy C. Wirtz's
'Backside' column ('During the early Sixties Dickie Lee was the king of
the splatter platter') in the 3/97 issue of _Musician_ magazine. (Fer
chrissakes, the lyrics are even *quoted in full* in Brunvand's _The Mexican
Pet_!) This kozmic konfluence of events convinced me of the error of my
ways:
