I forget the singer's name, but he introduced the song by telling the audience to mentally leave out all the "L's."

Ha, Hi Chuck,
I met John at a few Festivals...He certainly had some strong opinions. I just listened to them. He was great if he let you in as a friend...Great singer....Jack

Chuck,
Another good set-up.
In both cases the focus of the lyrics shifts and hilarity ensues.

btw, at the Bluegrass Canada festival in 1975 Ben Eldridge and Raymond McLain swapped solos on this one for about 7 minutes at their banjo workshop. Someone , somewhere probably has a recording of it. (Duffy was banned from attending.....)
