Giants at the Door

THE EDITORS

Singer Eric Bogle was in Canada, in a hotel between concerts. A knock on the door. He opened it. There were two “giants”—Stan and Garnet Rogers—outside.

“We’ve come to share some songs,” Stan rumbled.

Eric—a little guy—trembled.

“I’ve got a bottle of scotch,” Stan said.

“Come away in,” Eric said, suddenly braver!
