On other threads on Mudcat I have told the story of how my mother sang me train wreck songs instead of lullabys. I am sure that I learned Jim Blake, Wreck Of The 97, and Wreck Of The # 9 before I could speak. Bee says much the same thing in her post as well. Perhaps it has something to do with the Inverness Co. air or water. :-}
