HW: FWIW

[Andy Gilham]

Just a little quote I found when idly web-surfing:

"By the shores of Lake Michigan, where the hawk wind blows so cold,
an old Cub fan lay dying, in his midnight hour the toll.
 [etc.]"
about which was written:

'The song is called "A Dying Cub Fan's Last Request." It was written by
Steve Goodman, a Chicago fol singer, a lover of baseball and a lifelong fan
of the Chicago Cubs.'

Intrigued, I looked further, and found this on *another* baseball page:
"IT was a bitter January day, Chicago's infamous winter wind - "The Hawk" -
was sweeping down Michigan Avenue like a thousand razor blades, cutting
through countless layers of clothing to chill to the bone."
Probably means nothing, and HW probably are named for Turner's foul
personal habits after all, but what the hell!  In the words of Noddy
Holder, "Merry Christmas Everybody"!
