Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Bob Coltman Song 'If You Will Weave Me-'
Sometimes I wonder why I shoot my mouth off before what's left of my brain is in gear. With sincere apologies to Bob, I hereby retract my thoughtless comment about verse 1, line 2, posted yesterday. On reflection, I realized that I never heard Bob sing that song himself, and doubtless by the time it reached the bard from whom I heard it, the "folk process" had taken its toll and morphed it into the line I quoted. I shall atone for my egregious faux pas by taking guitar in hand and finally putting this lovely song into my repertoire, where it should have been all along. Ve get too soon oldt und too late schmardt.
