    Tanner intended the "To" and "From" area to be autographed by the artist to a fan. It didn't work because the silver ink repelled india ink.

    Must admit I'm a total sucker for a dog song and this is a great dog song. How about the line "and he'll never lead me like in days of yore, he'll never be a blind boys pal no more", it's just too good! Thanks for posting this one up!!!
