My mom and dad put my siblings and I to bed when we were little to a record player playing one side of an LP every night. Either a musical, Tom Lehrer or The Kingston Trio (we didn't have a lot of records). I memorized every song on all of those records before I was 12 and still know them. When I was 24 or so I moved to Boston, discovered that Scollay Square Station was now Government Center but then remembered the lyrics; "Charlie's wife goes down to the Scollay Square station every day at quarter past two and through the open window she hands Charlie a sandwich as the train goes a rumblin' through!" And it occurred to me that she could have just handed him a T coin so that he could come home...... Wait..... OHHHhhHH! SHE DIDN'T WANT HIM TO COME HOME!!!!!! Friggin revelation that!
