I am working on a CD. I would like to record a song I know as "Gotta Find a Woman with a Chainsaw." I need the writer's name and address and/or publisher so I might apply for a mechanical license. You can post the name here. I would prefer you send me the address in a personal message, for the writer's privacy.

The first verse and chorus are:

Woke up this mornin', frozen nearly dead.
Was so damn cold I couldn't get out of bed.
As I lay there shiverin' as cold as can be,
Suddenly this revelation occurred to me.

I gotta find a woman with a chainsaw,
To spend the winter with me.
If I could find a woman with a chainsaw,
Then all night long I would stoke her fire, yes, indeed.

I saw Peter Krug at San Francisco's Camp New Harmony this last week, and he confirmed that he is the author of "I Gotta Find a Woman With a Chainsaw." If you want to obtain permission to record this or any other Peter Krug song, you can contact him at this e-mail: pakrug-@-hotmail.com (leave out the dashes). Peter gave me permission to post his e-mail address.
