The scene in the last verse happened to me. That's why the other verses are there. This is what happens when a twenty year old gets stood up ... once. I think it's funny now but there's a real earnestness to the self pity that at the wrong moments feels poignant. The main reason for this rennovation is that I still like the music of this 'un. Like a few here, this is a case where I finally get to use something I imagined but didn't have when I wrote the song: an electric 12 string. Thank you Mr Rickenbacker!
