Thank you all. Leadfingers,I'm going to leave that website until tomorrow morning; must admit I've never heard of R. McGuinn. (I'm also a banjo player and don't do blickies. I'm sure there's another banjo joke in there somewhere.) I had forgotten until Janice in NJ mentioned it the Josh White version; his version of anything he did was definitive.

Hello, Stewie. So we're still stopped at 1928 or so as the earliest published reference.

One of the best parts of doing things like this is that mudcatters teach me about resources i was unaware of. Or of which I was unaware. I keep adding bookmarks.

Again thank you.
