While touring in upstate NY we stayed in our friend Pat's new house. Pat hadn't moved in yet, but his dad Bill McHale was there doing some handy work. This house doubles of a museum. It's filled with relics and remnants from about a century ago, from creepy porcelain dolls to rusty machinery, and of course, a nice old upright piano and a pump organ. About 15 minutes after we woke up from our night's sleep, we got together and sang this song which we had been practicing a capella in the van. We added a few verses, and took turns on soloing the first line of the tune. Bill and Karl Blau sing all the choruses with us. The session starts outside in the rain and slowly moves into the museum.
