Isn't it amazing how I keep finding excuses for reviving this thread? This time I'm going to use up two excuses at once: First, I've been misspelling Cathy Barton-Para's name as Kathy, and promise never to do it again. Second, in reading the liner notes to the Barton-Para album _Songs of American Rivers_, I ran across an old friend: From the notes to the song "Is Your Lamps Gone Out": "River minstrel Art Thieme attached the last verse." I knew the song was familiar--it's on "The Older I Get, the Better I Was."
