[net.music.folk] Singing in Bars

Dear Folksingers,

I was playing in a bar in Chicago once, and they had the best
burgers I'd ever had. I went back to the grill between sets to
meet the cook, and said, "Charley, where did you learn to make
such a great hamburger?"
	"The penitentiary.....hey, listen, kid, you wanna see
something incredible?"
	"Sure, why not?", I answered. He led me around to where
there was a flight of stairs, and when we got to the top we
were facing a large cage. In the cage was the largest doberman
I've ever seen. I said to Charley, "My God, Charley, what do you
feed that thing?"
	He looked menacingly at me and answered, "Folksingers."
