From Jay 777: "I sang it in folk clubs in the 70s, and no one objected. Still as relevant today as when it was written. I think Ralph should re-release it, as a charity record to raise funds for homeless people."


Strangely, I wrote to both Ralph's website and The Big Issue, this morning, Jay, suggesting exactly that, and wondering if the song could be sold in CD form by the Big Issue Sellers themselves. I'm sure many people would buy it from them..

I've not heard anything yet, and I'll certainly let you know if and when I do.

Meanwhile, if anyone else would like to drop them a line with the same or similar suggestions, then here are the contact details.
