Mr Picky says:

that would probably be songs by David _Essig_, not Essex, a faded glam-rocker whose material would be a little out of place ...

and the Thompson song, difficult and rewarding as it is, is "Vincent Black Lightning", and refers to a 52, not a 57 model.

And everyone knows there's nothing like a good death-song to liven up a folk music show! Preferably multiple & violent.

And often brought to you courtesy of that maniac...
