How About a David Song?

The first night at family camp we had a campfire, and Mr. Greg played the guitar and we all sang songs, roasted marshmallows, and made s'mores. It was so much fun that we didn't want to leave. Most families headed back to their cabins, but Mr. Greg seemed willing to sing as long as people were willing to listen and sing along.

Allison was friendly and charming, and before long Mr. Greg was singing Elvis Costello's "Alison." She expressed her appreciation so graciously that he indulged her in a follow-up, by adapting "Eleanor" to "Allison" -- as in, "Allison, gee I think you're swell..." She laughed and laughed. Next he asked Sarah's name, and launched into Hall & Oates "Sara Smile."

When Mr. Greg thought he was done, David popped up out of the darkness, sidled over right next to him, and said, "How about a David song?"

Mr. Greg immediately laughed and said sure, then thought about what he might sing, before landing on "Dave's Been Working on the Railroad," complete with "David blow your horn" and "someone's in the kitchen with David." David loved it!
