My ode to DEMO

Ahhh my home away from home where everyone is on a first name basis and nobody has a care in the world, dear sweet Demo. Oh what would our crew do if you ceased to exist?? Last night's karaoke session was well deserved. It's amazing what peace if mind and wisdom a good ole Vince Gill selection will evoke: "when you smile that smile, my whole world turns upside down, whenever you come around. . " "I can't sleep at night, I toss and I turn, I keep losing sight of the lessons I've learned, I'm standing at the crossroads with just one concern. . " "it won't mean you're weak if u turn the other cheek . ."

Most of all I'd like to make my own dedication to Demo itself. The theme song to the old tv series "Cheers" basically sums up how I feel:

Making your way in the world today takes everything you've got.
Taking a break from all your worries, sure would help a lot.

Wouldn't you like to get away?

Sometimes you want to go

Where everybody knows your name,
and they're always glad you came.
You wanna be where you can see,
our troubles are all the same
You wanna be where everybody knows
Your name.

You wanna go where people know,
people are all the same,
You wanna go where everybody knows
your name.

Making your way in the world today
Takes everything you've got;
Taking a break from all your worries
Sure would help a lot.
Wouldn't you like to get away?

All those night when you've got no lights,
The check is in the mail;
And your little angel
Hung the cat up by it's tail;
And your third fiance didn't show;

Sometimes you want to go
Where everybody knows your name,
And they're always glad you came;
You want to be where you can see,
Our troubles are all the same;
You want to be where everybody knows your name.

Roll out of bed, Mr. Coffee's dead;
The morning's looking bright;
And your shrink ran off to Europe,
And didn't even write;
And your husband wants to be a girl;

Be glad there's one place in the world
Where everybody knows your name,
And they're always glad you came;
You want to go where people know,
People are all the same;
You want to go where everybody knows your name.

Where everybody knows your name,
And they're always glad you came;
Where everybody knows your name,
And they're always glad you came...
