[78-L] 'Gay'.

[Taylor Bowie]

Hey,  David...I didn't know that you knew Larky and Sparky,  too.  Great 
guys.  Much better than those other two we sometimes  run into,  Snarky and 
Jerky!

Nobody mentioned that song from Leave Us Face it called "Farming" where I 
recall some mention of Georgie Raft's bull as being gay or something like 
that...am I remembering right?

I have a Liberty Music Shop album which has the song on it...don't know who 
sang it in the show.

Taylor
