Hmmm. The "Loveless" barn with Patty's all over the floor. Interesting image.

Sabra, gonna have to outvote you on the "You Were on My Mind" credit (or suggest you get your money back for a bad CD - chuckle). The following books and recordings list only Sylvia Fricker, Sylvia Fricker Tyson, or Sylvia Tyson as the song's progenitor.

I & S "Northern Journey"/ I & S and Great Speckled Bird "You Were On My Mind"/ I & S "Live At Newport" / I & S "Best of the Vanguard years"/ Sylvia Tyson "You were On My Mind"/ I & S songbook "Ian & Sylvia"/ Chad Mitchell Trio "Typical American Boys"/ and the coo d'tops "Rise Up Singing.

Ol' Ian's done wonderful things, but we can't give him credit for this one. That an Sylvia once claimed that he never learned to sing harmony.
