   My gag reflex never gave my taste buds sufficient time to experience   
   the state of acquisition. :-)   
      
   That said, I can occasionally swish "Lay Lady Lay". Sorta. :-)   
      
   Oh my... went to the Wikipedia entry for that song where I found:   
      
       "'Lay Lady Lay', sometimes rendered 'Lay, Lady, Lay',   
       is a song written by Bob Dylan and originally released   
       in 1969 on his Nashville Skyline album. Like many of the   
       tracks on the album, Dylan sings the song in a low croon,   
       rather than in the high nasal singing style associated   
       with his earlier (and eventually later) recordings."   
      
   Of course, the aforementioned gag scenario kept this 62-year-old   
   from ever investigating him at all, so I'm unfamiliar with any of   
   the other "low croon" vocalized tracks. Maybe my wife will give me   
   enough chores reprive one of these days to look/listen into such....
