Really love the musical, really LOVE (and miss) Studs! I sang *Just a House Wife* from this a few years ago and the text really touched me. Studs interviewed–as he called them–working stiffs and he transcribed the interviews for his book. It is my understanding the lyrics for the songs were the folks real words. That makes them so much more powerful than just a lyricist coming up with something clever.
