I wondered about those lyrics too. I'm glad you could tell
us what they were, but I still don't get what they mean.
By the way, I'm new to this group and decided to give some
of my old VH records (uhh, I mean CD's) a listen after reading
the various opinions presented here. It was really nice to
rediscover some great music from both the Sammy and Dave eras.
I must agree about Diver Down, it has a couple of songs that
really stand out. Specifically, the drumming on Hang 'em High
is outstanding, and the solo on Secrets is a masterpiece.
Even the tunes they covered showed sparks of Ed's genius,
so I guess I liked them too.

The name of the tune is Little Guitars off of Diver Down.
I think he is actually saying "Catch as Catch" if you are
to believe the lyrics as written in the guitar tab book
that I have.

I have the opportunity to pick up some import stuff. 1 is a Japanese
release only 5 cd box set. I have no other info on it but it is a real
"product". I also can get a Japanese laserdisc titled "Live! Can't Stop
Loving You". Is this an alternate title of LRHRN for Japan or maybe the
Canadian pay per view concert? I don't want to buy a Japanese release of
stuff I already have. But if its something new?..............If anyone can
help w/ info your welcome to E mail me personally or post. Thanx-
