Banjoman made the same request in at least 2 different threads, back in 2002. Derek answered the other one in 2007.

That thread was called Heard in Whitby.

Banjoman is active again at Mudcat after an absence from 2003-2008.

By the way, I see THIS thread was originally titled "Lyr Req: silly song" but someone changed it to "req:man who wrote the songs we sang to Cecil Sharp" which just barely fits in our title box.

Is that what you call your song, Derek, or would you prefer a different title?
