Hey All,

Wow! What great replies! GL fans are definitely a cut above, in terms of L.I.Q.(literary intelligence quotient)!

Thanks brink, for sharing. I agree with you on East of Midnight's "A Passing Ship" belonging to this category (sort of).

Sheryl, until last week, I always assumed Bitter Green and Daylight Katy were women (although the "waiting for her master" in the former always seemed a bit archaic). Somewhere in this forum I ran across the dog conjecture and it made perfect sense (although I ain't sure about I'd "kiss away the tears" from a mutt!)

I read your email and got out the lyrics to Daylight Katy- & I'm presently inclined to think she's a cat-"nine lives in her midnight world". Also, well off women might appear to a feline as "high-heeled friends" who open doors and fill the food and water dishes.

Rez, you've surely the soul of a poet. I think it's bloody brilliant to categorize GL songs by the emotions evoked, & I'm gonna play with your suggestions & see where that leads.

Thanks & I hope this keeps building,

WWG (aka HotBlooded MountainLove)
