Hi Bob and others. Does anyone remember the album Shirley Jacobs did with Ade Monsborough in the early seventies, called The Legend That Is Lawson. I'm coming down out of the hills for the winter so I'll have access to it in a week or so. It had a marvellous setting of the Eureka song. The settings were a bit too "jazzy" to suit the taste of most folkies at the time, in other words you couldn't get the same effect with simple chording, but there were several other songs that really shone. It came out on RCA and if you get a chance it's worth a listen.
