Another morning phone call .... ala Bob Newhart

Hi, is Miss Baez there.

No, ah, I am Harry Goskowicz, and I am an independent news correspondent and I wanted to, you know, just get a statement from Miss Baez about her recent accident. Is she well enough to come to the phone, it will only take a moment, Thanks.

Oh, hi Miss Baez, Harry Goskowicz here, just wanted to get some comments about your recent accident. I was certainly sorry to hear about it.

About the fall, were you climbing up the tree or coming down?

Oh, and on a rope ladder, I bet that is tough.

Have you been sleeping up in your tree house with the birds very long? That's quite a while.

And, you say you didn't want any walls put up when you had it built because the birds might not visit you, oh, sure, I can understand that, oh, and no roof either.

What was your first thought when you hit the ground. Oh yea, I understand that, any publicity is good for your career. How long have you been singing, Miss Baez, ................... that long. Did you ever think that maybe at that age it might be better to not sleep in a tree house.

Sure, I understand, I think we all feel younger than we really are.

What, yea, that's interesting, right on the medical report, Fall from a tree house, you're right, you can work that right into your act, it will be good for a laugh.
