Subject: RE: What's so special about F. J. Child?
Right on. Very nice.

But why did he leave out fine ones (from my point of view) like "My Bonny Lad's So Long A-Growing" ? Moral grounds of some kind, I suspect. But what do others feel???

By the way, our own Mudcatter, Sandy Paton, recorded what I've always felt was the finest record ever made of "Long a-Growing" on his first album ---- The Many Sides Of Sandy Paton on Elektra. It was my favorite track on this recording that Sandy has never thought much of.
(Young J. Baez learned it note for note and inflection for inflection from Mr. Paton.)
