   Mike Powell to Denis Mosko:   
      
   DM>> What  is  grin  ?  because  I  learn English from echo,   
   DM>> Friend.   
   MP> It means a "smile."   
      
   Not quite,  on  account  of  grin's  negative  connotations.   
   Consider,  if you will, Son Houses's great song "Grinnin' in   
   your face".  I think its best recording is by  Son  himself,   
   done acapella during the 1965 blues festival:   
      
     Don't you mind people grinnin' in your face   
     Don't mind people grinnin' in your face   
     You just bear this in mind, a true friend is hard to find   
     Don't you mind people grinnin' in your face   
      
   Unfortunately  I  don't  seem  to have it at hand in digital   
   form, but can easily upload it should you be interested.
