Subject: RE: songs on life, times & assassination of JFK
Well, I believe greg, and it seems likely enough, because I can't imagine not trying to make a song in the circumstances. But I've no recollection whatsoever. Probably wasn't too good a song.

What I can remember is. I heard the news just before going into Heritage Folk Club in Oxford. And there we all were, completely floored by what had happened, and rumours about what might happen next, and what it was all about. Especially the Yanks among us, even the ones who hadn't been too impressed by Kennedy, which didn't seem to make much diffeence right then. So we were all singing those kinds of songs. A sort of wake.
