I thought I would just take time out in me hotel room, to let you know that I learned the 'Sleeve Job' (a story with no ending) from Bert. I told it in Kenny Goldsteins folk life tutorial in Philadelphia. I also learned The Carrot and cream, which was nothing to do with a daughter, but an errant wife with her husband away from home.
While we're on the subject I've got two belting stories from the Gypsy Folk told to me a few years ago. One is 'Ghadjee the canary' and the other the old tramp. You are welcome to them if you want. Pat(rick) Ryan has asked for them, and I'm seeing him tomorrow. Ask and you will receive, somehow.
