A bit of a bifurcation...but doctors can't advertise here even now.

‘Apparently a common theme in song.
At the end of his song, Womb to the Tomb, I heard Bill Kirchen, King of Diesel-Billy guitar, proclaim:
“From the cradle to the grave
From the womb to the tomb
From the sperm to the worm
From erection to resurrection”

Thanks for all the info. The ad by the Murphy brothers is really innovative.

Still in force in NZ. Ditto for lawyers and accountants, too. Yellow Pages ads are about all the professions are allowed here.

This from his website:
“Bill Kirchen…no-nonsense diesel guitar attack, powered by great booming, bottom-heavy licks still covered with axle grease…Grammy nominated guitarist, singer and songwriter, can step on any stage, play those trademark licks which drove the seminal Commander Cody classic Hot Rod Lincoln into the Top Ten nationwide, and elicit instant recognition for a career that’s spanned over 30 years…Titan of the Telecaster…”
My volunteer work with the local coffeehouse affords me opportunities to meet and sometimes play with a fantastic variety of great musical people from all over the country. Last year I was invited to a live broadcast out of a Worchester MA radio station that featured Bill in concert. The studio held about 20 people, his two guitars and his little amp. What fun!

Anyone heard the *old Irish saying about the innkeepers job -
"From apron to nightgown."
Sometimes also used about Mothers but that job is 24/7/lifetime.

I was invited to a live broadcast out of a Worchester MA radio station Whoa! [impressed e]
Didja call up wofahulicodoc and tell him hello? :-)

You can listen to a lick from Hot Rod Lincoln here.

that job is 24/7/lifetime I am sure realizing that! I used to think that when my kids turned 18, I could quit worrying about them. Now they're 22 and 21, and I'm still worried...
