The Last Word On CARDELLA ... Also Known As "Cordella"

________________________________________________________________________________________________



If the strip of brown
on the right border
draws further attention
to the highlighted
paragraph,
so be it
***
 
During a phone conversation
with Cardella,
I mentioned that I had
the Johnny "Guitar" Watson
compact disc
 featuring
two of her vocals
 
She exclaimed into the phone
!!!
 
For the next five minutes,
I gave her
considerable information
about/from 
the CD

She thanked me profusely
and said she was entitled 
to some royalties
***
 
Thus, 
I was responsible
for giving her $500
for a performance
+
"some royalties"
***
 
I hereby present
both Cardella songs
accompanied by
Johnny Watson's band:

Anyone Saying I Corrupted Students ... Is Correct ... [Page Five]

________________________________________________________________________________________________


There is
a song about a dentist
whose drill is
an obvious phallic symbol
and whose patient is
ecstatically willing 
to pay for it
*

When Cardella
[prior to the concert]
told me 
she was a big
 Dinah Washington fan, 
I told her
"Long John"
was one of my 
favorite songs
by the
*

Cardella performed the song
for Jefferson Students
and sang the lyrics
as they appear 
 
The high school students
responded enthusiastically
but not one of them
jumped out of 
his/her seats
 
Thirty seconds
into the song, 
 a guidance counsellor
present at the show
made eye contact
with Oliverio
then hastily
left the auditorium
*
 
After "Long John"
the concert
was winding down
when 
THE PRINCIPAL
entered the auditorium
 
Off-stage,
all eyes
looked at the Principal,
then looked at Oliverio
then looked
at the stage
 
When
the dismissal bell rang,
students gave
Cardella loud applause
and departed from
 the auditorium
in an orderly manner

So did Oliverio
who could not help
but think he was 
in serious trouble
with
THE PRINCIPAL
*
 
But not a single word
was said
about the
"corrupting" song
*
 
I telephoned Cardella
two nights
after her concert
and learned the reason 
why:
 
She had convinced 
the Principal
that singing
 "Long John"
was exclusively
her idea
and Oliverio had
nothing to do
with it
***
 
PURE GENIUS
Despite her name being frequently misspelled
