Hi Steve,
Just wondered if you got all the recorded references you wanted and when will the book hit the shelves. If I'm not too late, I just came across a recording of "Bunch of Watercresses" by O.J. Abbott on an album called "Irish and British Songs from Ottawa Valley" Folkways FM 4051. The lyrics are the same as in the first edition of "The Wanton Seed" which I was lucky enough to get a loan of.
