   Could be but with Originals, your songs will have something to say ;)

   Almost sounds like the intermission was more of a booze break ;)   
   I knew a duo that did that, until they started keeping their beers with   
   them. One even had a cup/bottle holder clipped to his mic stand ;)   
   But they had "Ed Sullivan Syndrome", seeing how fast a song can be finished,   
   like what used to be the case on the Ed Sullivan Show. Maybe they thought   
   the booze might slow them down a bit, but it seemed to have had the opposite   
   effect ;)
