GUEST,Sanjay Sircar	Origins: Just Plain Folks (Maurice Stonehill) (25)	RE: Origins: Just Plain Folks?	12 Jan 13
Even this newspaper snippet has oddities in it ("is", " a youth") which suggest hasty transcription. I listened to that Ada Jones 1913 rendition, which ends just where all these seem to do, and note that the tune of the chorus had folk-mutated out of recorded material (or been just plain gotten wrong) by my father, as he used to sing it. Still recognisably the same tune, but with variations. Sorry for mispelling "Berigan". I assure you that novel did exist, and one day someone will find it... Sanjay Sircar
