Thanks to Chris Thile and company for setting a text to music on yesterday's "Live From Here." While eating, sleeping, and brushing my teeth, I can't stop thinking about the earworm, "The spatula and the slotted spoon are non-stick metal."
That text sounds like a sentence a middle school class might be asked to write during the dictation portion of a spelling test. As Thile proved, it works as a melody or as a counterpoint to a melody...
...And now, I could no sooner forget it than I could forget my own name.
