Which book did you have in mind?

The Burl Ives Song Book, Five Hundred Folksongs for the Campfire, You Can Play Donovan's Greatest Hits with Three Chords.....all classics in their own way!

an' Ezra Pound and TS Eliot are fighting in the Captain's towers
Whilst calypso singers laugh at them and fishermen throw flowers

I think that's a pretty clear reference to Sam Larner, and as such we should admit it to the tradition.
