Thanks Peace

I heard the song in Washington DC on Mary Cliff's Traditions program (on WETA at that time - on WAMU now). I e-mailed Mary about it recently but got no response. I don't think she's especially in to computers, though she has a web site in connection with her program.

The singer was male. I would call the song "folkie", as opposed to your other categories. Fairly uptempo. Probably just the singer and his guitar. I doubt the song is traditional (if it were, someone would have recognized it by now) but, as Mary says, it's "in the tradition".
