Sourdough, I am intrigued by Benjamin Thompson. Can you recommend any books about him?

Here's something interesting. I mentioned Burl Ives' Little White Duck CD above. There is one nonsense song in there called "Fooba Wooba John". The lyrics are silly (saw a flea kick a tree, in the middle of the sea). I found a song at a renaissance site that had very similar lyrics, and the same rhythm. Some of these songs go way back, and I didn't realize it.
