I always thought it was quite nice that Andy Irvine & Patrick Street inserted the "John Hardy" tune in the middle of their nice new version of "Tom Joad". I still always sang "T. J." with the "J.Hardy" tune that Woody Guthrie borrowed. But it's a long song and after 40 years the new tune was refreshing to my old ears. Irvine & Street are fine musicians & singers---although, strangely, it's the only song of theirs I've ever heard. I taped it off of Thistle And Shamrock a while back.

That's how I "field collect" now!!
