This is the thread where you can perform your own pieces of music, other peoples and your parodies, plus you can pause the festival for advertisements! So here to kick-start the festival is Bill Humbers' "Walkin' In Dallas". N'joy!


(piano melody)

Put on my red suede shoes
And I drove down the lane
Broke down in the land of the Cowboy Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
C.W. Fandy -- won't you look down under me
Yeah I got a sec'n' class ticket
But I'm as blush as a boy can be

Then I'm walking in Dallas
Walking with my feet 50 miles off of Beale
Walking in Dallas
But do I really feel the way I feel

Saw the ghost of Father
On 31st Avenue
Followed him up to the li-bar-ary
Then I watched him walk right through
Now security they did not see him
They just hovered 'round 'bout noon
But there's a pretty little lad
Waiting for my dad
Down in the living room

(Chorus)

They've got catfish on the table
They've got gospel in the air
And Reverend Lean be glad to see you
When you haven't drunk some wine
But boy you'll drink some wine in Dallas

Liberace plays piano
Every Friday at the Bollywood
And they took me down the doorway
And they asked me if I would --
Do a little number
And I sang away all the night
And he said --
"Tell me are you a Jewish child?"
And I said "Sir, I was last night."

(Chorus)

Put on my red suede shoes
And I drove down the lane
Broke down in the land of the Cowboy Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
Broke down in the land of the Cowboy Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain

(final piano piece)

Yeeeeaaaaah... In Dallas...
