Subject: RE: Unreleased songs of Luke Kelly
'Scorn' is on 'Revolution' as well.

The error may have arisen from this paragraph (or it may not):
[1994:] Phil also wrote Scorn Not His Simplicity with Luke in mind. The song was deeply important to Phil, as it was about his own handicapped child, and Luke himself was so moved by the song that he sang it only once in a public forum, as a guest on a Jim McCann show. He made a powerful recording of it and sometimes sang it at private gatherings, with Phil at the piano, but steadfastly refused to sing it in concert. (from: Geraghty, Luke Kelly 124)
