This was the title of chapter 2 of Jean Shepherd's 1972 book "The Ferrari in the Bedroom," a tale of Shepherd flying to Chicago on a plane with a bunch of college students who broke out guitars and started singing folk songs on the plane. Wonder if that story inspired this song. imagine trying to take a guitar on a plane today!
I both knew and loved Shel and Bobby all my life and let's be real here ...there isn't a original line in this mess... just start counting... know who held out the longest? Why, that would be "the bridge over troubled waters...' This was taken off the last Gib-Stein album done in Nashville and aptly titled: "Makin' a mess"
