So, I bet nobody knows this song. It is from the album Bob Frank, by the artist Bob Frank. It came out in 1972 I think. It had a bit of a cult following.
After that one album the artist was never heard from again on the music scene. I had a chance to meet him years later, and he apparently had a falling out with the record company and they would no longer promote his record, so he got a regular job and raised a family.
The song is about his wife pawning her diamond ring so he could buy some weed. His wife (same one all these years later) said it was based on a true story, although her ring was not a diamond.
I used to hear Bob Frank's work on KFAT, a low power station out of Gilroy, California, and later, on KVMR, a public station in Nevada City. Pretty impressiv...

That's pretty funny, in a number of ways. I like it.
