Masato, I am not sure why I wasn't thinking at the time, but I was talking to W. K. McNeil just today, and Package of Old Letters never entered my mind. I do remember now though that Dr. Bill was the one who put me onto the proper title a few years ago. If I see him on Tuesday, I will TRY to get a little more insight from him.

That is an impressive list of recordings. I think I have only heard about seven or eight of them, but my favorite version is that of Tara Sky on a self produced cassette.

I currently have a Maud Karpeles book which was loaned to me. I don't think she mentions the song in this particular book, but I will check it out.
