Thank you Heloisa,
To everyone that has moved or will in the future, here are the lyrics to Loudin Wainwright's
"Cardboard Boxes":
I'm going to go to the supermarket,
I'm going to go to the liquor store.
I'm going to get me some cardboard boxes,
You know what them boxes are for.
I'm going to rent me a U-Haul trailer,
Hook it on the back of my old car.
Call up some of my stronger buddies,
That's what your strong buddies are for.
We're going to move,
We're going to move,
Yeah, move.
Give it to the Salvation Army or the Goodwill,
We've got so much junk its a joke.
Wrap a knick-knack in some old newspaper,
I know it was a present but the damn thing broke.
Your old shoes and my old t-shirts,
My strong buddies crave ice cold beer.
Don't throw that away, its a family heirloom,
I've had that ashtray for fifteen years.
We're going to move,
We're going to move,
Yeah, move.
We're going to empty out our old place,
And move into a brand new better space,
Yeah move.
We've got the books and the records and the tapes and the pictures,
And the pots and the pans and all the breakable glass,
The living room couch and the dining room table,
The washer and the drier, what a pain in the ass.
We've got the TV and the home entertainment center,
The box spring and the queen sized bed,
We've got the Christmas decorations and the bureau and the playpen,
If we had a piano I think I'd drop dead.
We're going to move,
We're going to move,
Yeah, move.
At the end of the day the old place is empty,
And the new place houses all of our stuff.
Unpack all our crap from cardboard boxes,
It wasn't that bad, no, it wasn't so rough.
But my strong buddies look a little bit grumpy,
I don't know why I broke my butt.
Tomorrow we'll call up the telephone company,
And get another set of house keys cut.
We're going to move,
We're going to move,
Yeah, move.
I can tell by the look on your face,
You just love our brand new better space, baby,
Yeah, move.
We're going to move,
We're going to move,
We're going to move,
We're going to move,
We're going to move,
Yeah, move.

Please know that everyone will have a warm welcome, a place to stay, and tasty vittles when NMA plays in Albuquerque, NM again.
Thanks folks, so happy to call you Family!
