Joe, m'lad, there's nothing I can add to my post in the earlier discussion. The New Golden Ring recordings were made in the very early 1970s, so a lot of people got the song from Jack Stanesco's singing. After we had enjoyed recording the music for the "five days singing," we all went up the the Fox Hollow Festival and performed as a somewhat loosely gathered group. Fox Hollow drew dedicated folk people from all over the country, so a lot of people spread the song around after hearing it there. I'd wager that the song echoing through your memory is the one on the New Golden Ring recording.

Sandy
