Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Jeannie C. (Stan Rogers)
Pete, in the biography 'An Unfinished Conversation', I seem to remember that it reports that Stan said he simply forgot to include the 'missing' verse during the recording session.

Unfortunately, I lent my copy to someone several years ago, and I'm buggered if I can remember who I lent it to, so I can't check my facts, but I'm almost certain that it's the case.

I also have a copy of a copy of a copy of a recording on DAT tape of the Bermuda Folk Club concert, the original of which Garnet gave to Archie Fisher, Archie gave a copy to a mutual friend at the BBC, and she gave me a copy. I'm certain that, IMMSMC, Stan sang the 'full' version including the 'missing' verse. Unfortunately I no longer have a cassette player, so I can't check that out either. Maybe it was the very concert you speak about?

I do clearly remember that, on the tape, Stan gives one particularly obstinate heckler a serious slap-down. Brilliant!

All the best from sunny N. Lincs.
