Silly yet I find it funny..Listen to John's CD's on way to work often..was listening to "Thats The Way The World Goes Round"
For some stange reason I was going to get a pet Tortoise and was thinking of names..it the song I thought I heard "a happenen Chawatta" thought what's a Chawatta? did a google search, am I spelling it wrong? what the heck.
Asked a friend to listen so I played the song and mind you I had been sing along this way for I don't know how long..
I was informed that John was not saying happenen Chawatta..but 1/2 inch of water....duh...duh I am not a nit wit or sporting an Illegal Smile :D So it has come to be that my Tortoise is now named "Mr. Happenen Chawatta" I call him Chawatta..and when anyone asks what his name means I tell them it means 1/2 inche of water.
ps Seen John gosh so long ago in Buffalo and the University of Buffalo...I think he's due to come out our way!Image
