"I wish my baby", sounds a lot like "the butcher boy", is that where it comes from. I have the soundtrack and enjoy it very much. I find these threads are so useful for so many reasons. Someone above, may have been Kim recommended the book "The Black Flower". I work in a library so I searched our catalogue for it. It was checked out but I found a reader's advisory for another book of the period called, "The Killer Angels" and I'm really enjoying it. Thanks again catters.
