Scott\u2019s suggestion (in the comment section on an earlier post<\/a>) that we have a \u201cCandle In The Wind\u201d sing-along at SBL got me thinking. Will there be a piano at the bibliobloggers\u2019 dinner? I\u2019ll gladly provide accompaniment, but we\u2019re going to have to move fast if we want to revise the lyrics so that they\u2019re appropriate.<\/p>\n

Obviously the first line has to be \u201cGoodbye Jimmy West.\u201d And the chorus could be:<\/p>\n

Seems to me you lived your life
Like a friggin\u2019 Zwinglian
Never knowing who to cling to \u2013
They\u2019re depraved in sin.
I would\u2019ve liked to know you
but I was just a kid
Your blog posts ran out long before
the bibliobloggers\u2019 din(ner).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Anyone able to come up with the verses in time to sing them at dinner?<\/p>\n

On a more serious note, Jim was kind enough to provide a floor plan<\/a> of the New Orleans Sheraton:<\/p>\n

All the more reason to sing to him in New Orleans!<\/p>\n
