I went to a John Roberts - Deb Cowan concert Friday night, and it was even more delightful than I expected. John seemed to be greatly entertained by the amount of scholarship Deb puts into researching the songs she sings. She sang "Good Fish Chowder," which she learned from Joe Hickerson. And she said it was a poem by John Ciardi called "Jerry Mulligan" that Greg Hildebrand of Australia set to the tune that Oscar Brand used for "Winnepeg Whore." Of course, Deb got all her research from a Mudcat thread. But in the thread and in what Deb said, it always seemed understood that everybody knows "Winnepeg Whore."

Well, hell, I know "Good Fish Chowder," but I looked all over and couldn't find "Winnepeg Whore." Finally, I found a recording on YouTube. So, if you are like me and not familiar with "Winnepeg Whore," here's a link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rPopTuuZeg.

Oh, and the thread on "Fish Chowder" is very tasty.
