Not sure what I did other than have a school girl crush on Old Walt -but I got mine. I too am shocked that this is Bob's first CD. He has a beautiful voice and his choice of songs is wonderful.

Mrs. MacDonald's Lament. Last Letter Home and Cape Ann. All favorites of mine. Had you asked me what to record I would have mentioned all three. My opinion - Bob gets this song right, better than Gordon himself. All the frustration, anger and bitterness is there and all Bob does is sing the song.

Then The Troubedour Song. SIGH...you couldn't know it but I was wooed with this one, gave my heart and he went off with a F**kin' nurse. I have tried to find a recording of this for years. I guess Burl Ives did it. Thanks...I think.

Jesse James deserves at least fifty more verses - Jesse seen thru his woman's eyes. I plan to write a few myself.

Delia's Gone is just a little bit different. In fact all of these songs are just a bit different. Bob adds without taking away - I mean that the song takes center stage, not Bob. Wonderful stuff.

Louise - WOW! "Women like Louise get by" I will learn this one.

Mary Anne has been among my favorites since I was a girl. The Ian and Silvia classic. I have to remember to sing it at the Press Room.

Peter Amberly - I know this as something else. Help! "The Cockie at Bungeree"?

Wandering Aengus is new to me (as are a number of others). Suits Bob's voice perfectly. He nails this one.

This will stay on the multi-CD player with Beginner's Luck and the Boarding Party for a long time to come.

What have you planned for CD#2? And when are you coming east for a tour?
