Well, it must be time to revive an old thread.... one of my favorites.
I stumbled across some explainations on the "biography" board on corfid's homepage. there it shed some light on this topic. I would assume it was Gord speaking, on each of the songs from "Painter passing through". Pasted below is the explaination...

"Closing the album is "Uncle Toad Said." "It's about the exuberance of youth, as seen through the eyes of a simple garden toad who's observing the goings-on of the young people living in the house that he lives behind-and they know he exists, too!" " end quote.

If this is in fact for real, and not some "commentator" speaking, then the grand prize goes to Kelly. unfortunately, the grand prize has no cash value.... sorry Kelly! just the warm glow of victory!!!!

a side note here: I always thought, until I read the lyrics, that Uncle Toad lived in the shade of a ukulele shack! what in the 'tarnation is a utility shack anyhow??? I always figured Uncle Toad liked to jam on his ukulele!!! lol
