Hi Mark - Just to clarify, I did not site Shirley Lomax in order to endorse her view on singing the lambie lyrics. Don't really think I have any particular insight intoI grew up listening to them. I leave it to others to judge the results... :) Obviously, I am curious about the "academics" - that's why I ask. But whatever the answer to the chicken/egg question, the lambie version of "All the pretty little horses" is an expressive song with powerful imagery. And when Texas Gladden sings a happy, silly version to her grand-child, that's also true to me. Wendy
