First to others:

Enough of this !! Let's just enjoy DT and be damned thankful that someone like Dick Greenhaus does what he does so well. Thanks Dick and Susan !!!

Second to Allan:

I never heard the story you related about "Darcy Farrow", but it is truly a "folk" tale !! Darcy Farrow was written by an old friend of mine(back in the early 60's), Steve Gillette and his long time cohort, Tom Campbell. Steve is still singing and writing and his latest is his best. He still does Darcy Farrow at all his shows, and he duets it with his beautiful wife, Cindy Mangsten.(See their home page for all their music. They were last here(Texas) in January and will be in Kerrvile during the Folk Festival in May. I do agree, however, that it could well have been a deserving dissertation. Darcy was the name of Steve's little sister !!
