Sailoron-

Looks like real progress in this thread. Thanks so much for your contribution, and hopefully you will make several more. Be warned, that Mudcat can be addictive, at least in the early stages.

I'm reminded that the late Cyril Tawney also expressed frustration that he was able to collect so few complete songs for his book GRAY FUNNEL LINE. The songs created by occupational folk composers dissipate all too fast. Not all are worth preserving but some of the ones we've lost were gems.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
