I saw Ian Tyson last in concert last year and he said Tom wrote the song and he(Ian) wrote the Chorus. When Tom sang it, he verified the colaboration and said Ian added the right feel to the song with his Aye yie yies. No doubt a fine song. Whiskey toast is rye bread toast. I think I found that piece of info on the Mudcat...(?)

About Sing Out..... I assumed everyone into music subscribed to Sing Out. Well,...don't they?
