Songwriter Notes

was at the local bar tonight with deirdre and we met a med student and his german roommate studying psychology. he told of the story of the charity of st martins of tours, in which st martin sees a beggar on the street and tears his coat in two and gives the beggar half. i thought that was a funny sort of charity for a saint. i know that would be very generous for a normal person, but you'd think that a saint would give over the whole coat. anyway got me thinking about how the beggar was made warm and the saint was not made cold.

Did this Martin read the story of Solomon? Half a coat keeps no one warm! Silly! Gabemcelwain 11:03, 24 February 2009 (PST)
