It's pretty simple to understand. I think he was good, Gene Pitney.

24 hrs from Tulsa
Liberty Valance
Mecca

etc.

He seemed like a gentleman too.

[Shedhand]

i still dont get itGene Pitney was a singer popular in the 50's and 60's. He sang a song called 24 Hours from Tulsa ( a town somewhere in the USA. Tulsa rhymes with Balsa ( a very soft wood and easy to work.

Pitney died in Wales last week after a concert.

The joke is, it takes a week to build a coffin from oak but "Only 24 hours from Balsa" ryhmes with Tulsa.:D
