Last year (1996) at Winfield a guy (an attorney, if I remember correctly - we aren't particular in our campsite) sang an additional set of verses to the Mike Cross SCOTSMAN that I'd never heard. Of course, it was just a few hours after Mike had performed at Stage 1. Anyway, he said he had made up the verses himself. This particular circle is largely composed of songwriters. Anyway, they were different from what I've seen posted here. As I recall, they had the Scotsman going into a bar the next day for another round, an impromptu comparison of endowments at the loo, coming home, and his wife making some comments. The verses were better than those posted here, but not as good as Mike's. I don't recall his name, but he comes to our campsite every year. I can see his face in my mind. I would like to get the verses, so I could ask him for them this September. Or you could come to Winfield - I can give you directions to our campsite - it's right west of Stage 3, at a main cross roads in the West Grounds. If you're into acoustic music and haven't been to Winfield, plan to make a pilgrimage. Check out http://homepage.midusa.net/~shorock/wv/wvmenu.htm Bob Haight pioneer@kans.com
