Subject: Matchboxes and clothes
I've always loved the line "goin' where the weather suits my
clothes". It's sort of how I wound up penniless in 1978 Florida
myself. Harry Nillson used it in "Everybody's Talkin'" for the film
"Midnight Cowboy", but I know it predates that use. I've heard it used in
many Blues songs. Anyone know where it actually originated?
