1) Pat Humphries is one of the best people and folk artists around. I've watched her grow over the years in popularity, but not in ego. She is truly a good person, and lives what she writes and believes in. 2) I think she "gets" a lot of her songs very quickly, and doesn't nitpick what she "gets" as much as some people have with this thread. 3) I think she was being conversational and somewhat sarcastic with the crime thing. If you want to pick more, you could replace it with rhyme. 4) "Hands" has been recorded before - by Betty and The Baby Boomers - a wonderful group with two recordings so far. 5) "Waltzing Matilda" is about Australian stuff, but sung all over the world. 6) I hope Pat gets to read this forum - she'd get a kick out of it! 7) I predict she will someday be as famous as Pete Seeger. 8) Check out "Common Threads" and "Never Turning Back" - two of her other dearly loved songs. 9) the reason Pat isn't even more famous than she is is because she doesn't try to be. She lives a fairly low-profile life. 10) This song was the only one besides "Imagine" that I could get the teens in my high school folk music class to willingly sing at our school assembly, and of course everyone loved it, and sang along on the chorus.
