Melissa and I had the habit of slipping Smid's name in the midst of song lyrics. They just seemed to fit. We'd play something in the car and sing along to whatever, sometimes. It depended on the song. I'm a Poconut so something Poco related might be playing.
An example would be Timothy B. Schmit's CD, "Tell Me the Truth" & the song, "Something Sad". It contains the lyrics, "something sad about it baby". That can easily be changed to "something sad about it Smidley". One day we were riding with that song playing and singing along. When we got to that part, Melissa's friend, E.D. asked,"is that where you got Smid's name?" Melissa and I just laughed and explained. To look at Smid, you wouldn't expect him to inspire song, but inspiration is where you find it. "ssssSmid!"
I saw the song on YouTube the other day and just had to link it on Facebook and, yep, I sang along and thought of Smidley. There's something sad about it...and worth a smile.
