Re opening verse of Meadowlark - I'm not talking about that verse that's never been part of the song - I don't even know what that is. I'm talking about the first verse of the song proper, which I've never heard done slowly (When I was a girl), but always in tempo. It certainly wasn't done slowly in the original, but I know they created this verse at some point, but that's not what I'M talkin' about. And, Todd Ellison and I came up with the opening chords to get into it, and I'd find it hard to believe that we'd just "happen" to come up with the same thing from some London version.
