G'day again Doug,

I just had a look at the DT You don't even call me bu my name and some of the lines are reminiscent of the version I heard - on a rebroadcast of a BBC Steve Goodman Concert, if I remember correctly ... but they are not the same. This was more of a routine, between songs, about the writing of "The Perfect Country Song" and ended with a verse or three of the song.

Anyway, I have checked the music cassettes and can;t see where I put that one. I suspect it is tucked away as a short humour segment at the end of one of the 39 cassettes of Goon Show tapes (yes folks .. that is 107 Goon Shows ...!) that kept me alive driving home from gigs in the 1970s/80s. I may find it yet - maybe!

Regards,

Bob Bolton
