This song keeps coming back around. Hildebrand actually wrote those lines in the thread name as, "....beatnik! junkie! doncha talk that way to me..." But that's the folk process at work.
Funny how the song took on a life of its own after Hildebrand went off a-wandering - just a few months after he wrote it. Steve tried to find him for years before recording it. Hildebrand heard that Steve was looking for him but somehow the contact address got lost in transit. Sadly Hildebrand never actually met Steve. Doesn't know where he picked up the song. Cheers, Joy
