Hi Malcolm - Anne Price and I heard it at the same time - on a Folk Music Society of NY weekend the Shellback Chorus attended - and two of the group sang it -- Anne and I promptly stole it and she managed to record it first - though I've been singing it with the Jgirls since a week after I first heard it. Steve Suffet got it from Anne. We all run pretty much in the same circles -- and happily nick songs where we can. The three recordings will likely be quite different -- and all worth the listening.

Hi Highlandman -- yeah, that's what we've been able to suss out so far -- Americans not using "bloody"? I use it all the time! Of course I've spent tons of time in the UK (though not in the last 2 years) -- hope to be back soon.
