Thread Name: FATHOM THIS (the fine Barry Finn CD)
Subject: RE: FATHOM THIS (new Barry Finn CD)
Thanks for that Richard, I've always kept it the way I 1st heard Suzanne (boy, did I love that voice) & the rest of you guys singing it "row me 'cross the river". Hugill concurs with the posibility of it's river origns stating that the 'rock 'an row me over' is probably the older refrain. Anyway it's a version that I always prefered rather than a halyard version, very soulful, Colcord & Hugill believe it's of "Negro" in origin.
I'll tell Neil you're opinion of Heavy Cruiser, we always have a good time with that song.

Carole, Dani, Dave, Art, Ron, your CD's are all on the way.
