Chirality - Flanders and Swann

From: Theodore Held <oppenhauser2001 at gmail.com> on 2011.10.31 at 18:33:01(22243) Don, How interesting that someone on this list besides me is familiar with this song. I say familiar in the sense that I have the recording and remembered it right away when I read the lyrics. But I had not thought of it in quite some time. Thanks for bringing it to mind again. For the rest of the afternoon I'll be humming, "Mud, mud, glorious mud, nothing quite like it for cooling the blood."

I was introduced to Flanders and Swann many years by a animal physiologist with whom I was working as Project Assistance when I was an undergraduate at the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee. They could make us laugh without resorting to crude language! But I guess I date myself.

From: Theodore Held <oppenhauser2001 at gmail.com> on 2011.11.01 at 21:53:23(22254) Isn't it interesting that a fair percentage of this modest list is familiar, fans even, of these two jolly folks from 50 years ago! It's somewhat an age thing and a little not, since younger people may not have ever been exposed, but I know of many folks my age who haven't a clue about who these guys are. One might postulate that a certain mental construct leans one toward both F & S type songs and growing fancy plants. Too many variables to prove one way or another, but fun to think about. By the way, the Madeira song is sort of on the edge.
