ClaireBear--I listened to the midi of Bold Riley, and I found Farewell Juliana (Golden Ring!) and listened to that, and at this point I'm more in favor of Farewell Juliana. Maybe because the midi doesn't have words, so I'm sort of imagining where the words would "line up" with the music. I can't find a recording of Goodbye Fare Thee Well at home, so I must have heard that one somewhere else.

Nobody's answered the second part of the query, though--was there really a Percy? (like Hurricane Carter?) Or is the whole narrative a fiction?

Curiouser and Curiouser...
