Thanks ever so much, Mick, Bruce, Kat, Al, Richey, Dick and, er, Spaw for the positive input thus far. Should've said, I only actually recorded these tracks today (sorry, make that yesterday-what on earth am I doing vegging out on Mudcat after midnight?), and I'll be poring over them for the next couple of weeks before I decide for sure what works and what doesn't & what's going to make the cut. I have been meaning to sniff out the Copper's version of thousands or more, actually; as I understand it's meant to be definitive...but maybe not until after I've released my own version 'cos there's always the danger of letting the "standard" version become the template for one's own version of a song (I can't seem to sing "My Flower My Companion and Me", for instance, without aping Norma Waterson, which is why I stopped singing it-shame because I love the song).

Anyway, more tracks will follow in a couple of weeks, so...watch out :>)
