Good morning, I was looking for some William D (Smitty) Smith songs on youtube. There are finally 3 of them there but not the ones from his album I was looking for. There are a couple that are great for when you are feeling really down. One has the lyrics "when you leave, please tiptoe down the backstairs of my life." Another has the lyrics "life is full of bitter and sweet surprises". Both songs leave me in tears.
This is a sad week at Daily Kos. Translator decided to leave this "sweet old world" and GreenMountainBoy02 is gravely ill.
