  2. Love the Jim Croce songs. "You Don't Mess Around with Jim" and "Bad Bad Leroy Brown" may have been two different tunes, but the words are both the same. I gotta dig up my old 45s & play them for my kids.
    By the way... I think you covered almost everything in the under-10 world that's dangerous.
