Say, Dick - I did kinda wonder, and then I dismissed the idea, but now you bring it up - is Irving Burgess of "The Seine" and "El Matador" and other Kingston Trio songs the same as Irving Burgie, who wrote "Jamaica Farewell," "Day-O," "Island in the Sun," and "Yellow Bird"???? My Burgie album says that Burgie performed under the name "Lord Burgess" and wrote 35 songs that were recorded by Harry Belafonte. Burgie studied at Juilliard, University of Arizona, and the University of Southern California.
