I always thot the Spot Welder line to be hysterical. I liked it even. AS to Joan Baez and ".....Dixie Down" I was always a little miffed that she couldn't get the lyric right. And her just plain bad version of San Francisco Mabel Joy plumbs several depths in my estimation.

Arlo Guthrie made Steve Goodman a hat full od money with The City of New Orleans which I thot was absolutely awfull. But Steve Said he thot it was a better version than his. John Denver re-wrote the last verse to City of New Orleans and recorded it but better sense prevailed and he rerecorded it the way Goodman wrote some years later. Steve said he didn't like it the first way but he got paid for it.

Here again, the beauty of The Cat is we can have opinions and no one in the forum will hoist us to rudicule and rebuke unless we are discussing the Corries.
