Yes, a very fine picnic. Except for the time kytrad tried to poke me in the ribs with a cane for singing the following two verses to The Folksingers' Ball. The tune is that of The Ball of Kerrymuir.


Utah Phillips asked Jean Ritchie: If it is not a chore,
Would you kindly honor us,
By playing dull some more?

Chorus:
Wha'll hae ye, lassie?
Wha'll hae ye noo?
The ane wha hae ye last time,
He canna hae ye noo!

Then Ritchie answered Phillips:
I'll glady pluck my string,
If you'll return the favor,
By learning how to sing!

Repeat chorus.


I understand the two verses are based on a true interchange.

For many more lysrics to this exceptionally fine cybersong, look in the Digital Tradition.
