Can anyone tell me if Johnny Be Fair is traditional or recently composed? I hope to perform it in a couple of weeks, and want to know how to introduce it.

I would just like to add that this thread was my very first post on Mudcat, right after I stumbled in here, so now I'm getting warm fuzzy feelings about cycles being completed... I'd also like to point out that I had the sense from the beginning to use a specific thread title and put as much detail as possible in the first post, though there were no FAQs or "Common Prefix" options back then.
