You're right, Weasel. Thanks for the link.

I'm glad to see another person who plays guitar as I do - lots of flickering and a pick on the the thumb.

I learned a song off an LP by Winifred Smith which remains unresolved. I don't know the title, but the first verse is

Come all you pretty maidens,
whoever you be.
Don't place your affections
on a green willow tree.
The leaves they will wither,
the roots will decay.
My true love has left me
and wandered away.

The song shares elements with 'The Unconstant Lover' and 'The Dove She is a Pretty Bird.'
