This isn't in the DT yet but I'm sure Dick or Susan will insert it the next go round, seeing as they got the author's permission recently. Who's posting? Barry |

I figured ou how to do a link into this thread (big accomplishment for the likes of me) & I'm sure once he opens his e-mail he'll pay a visit & like the other folkies here, we'll be seeing a good bit of him. Don't know who the original poster is but if you have any questions on Jerry's stuff go on. Barry |

Lots of good songs, order it from them at P.O. Box 623, Beaverton OR, 97075-0623. Try it, you'll like it. Blessings, Barbara |

31 Aug 98 - 04:43 PM (#36615) Subject: RE: Harbo & Samuelson From: Jerry Bryant Lewis Mills didn't make it too far, from what I understand, so I could write a SHORT song about his exploits. It appears that there are two distinct versions of H&S in existence: the west coast version, as heard on Shanghai'd on the Willamette's and Pint and Dale's recordings, and the east coast variant (the way it's done by folks who learned it from Forebitter's or my recording). I have to admit it's a thrill to watch this song becoming a "folk song". Thought I'd have to be dead for all this to happen. Keep singing, JB |
