Sourdough or Bev & Jerry, do you have any information about Hawes and Steiner? I've been singing this song all my life, and I'd like to know as much as I can of the story behind it.
Heck, I almost had to sing this song as part of a government security clearance investigation. I went up to one of the applicant's neighbors, and he said, "I ain't tellin you nothin' until you sing me that song about the MTA." Turns out he had heard me sing it for the Boy Scouts. Kind of ruined my credibility as a government investigator.
