Replacing Words With Other Words

Bin It

Replacing Words is reminiscent of a hootenanny circle overtaken by fellows more anxious to play than everyone else. Their enthusiasm is appreciated, yes. But as lyrics bump along on melodies like a square tire, it loses charm. Gentlemen, something is missing. For a how-to on new fangled folk, see Greg Brown.
