Ed,No way can I tell you how I've loved "Blood, Booze & Bones".--Like Sandy & so many others, I learned a ton of songs from it and from "Cowboy Songs". Your rendition of the song "Bitter Withy" opened my eyes to what gems are out there lurking in the mists of antiquity: Indeed, songs about Jesus getting so ticked off 'cause the kids won't let him play ball with them that he kills 'em and gets whupped by his mom with a withy switch--those are few & far between. I had some fine times hearing you in Chcago at Richard Harding's first QUIET KNIGHT on Wells Street, a fine folk club. Just last night we were watching folk slides and there you were at the Old Town School Of Folk Music---and this morning I found this thread. Thanks again for all of the music---ranging from "The Colorado Trail" and "Yo Ho Ho & A Bottle Of Rum" to the Columbia "Mormon" LP and some of the raunchiest rhymes I've ever heard outside of one boozy night in Chicago with Alan Mills telling Yiddish jokes. Thank you for all of it, Mr. McCurdy.
A fan!! (Art Thieme--Peru, Illinois)
