Joe, you just said that for devilment didn't you. "Not serious folk" indeed.

Let me think, what did he sing..
Diggin' my potatoes,
Rock Island Line,
Nobody Loves Like an Irishman,
John Henry,
John Hardy,
Tom Dooley,
Cumberland Gap,
Old 97,
Putting on the Style,
Grand Coolee Dam,
Bring a little water Sylvie,

There were loads more, I'll have to dig a little to recall them, but those should be SERIOUS enough for now:-)

Sure he put some life into them, but those bluegrass guys do that as well don't they?

Bert. (He got me started.)
