Average day. Rummaging through CD's, find old Tommy Makem version of "Butcher Boy", wonder for nanosecond if DT will have it. Check DT, of course, Women's Song Circle thread ( an old favourite, totally forgot that ALICE IN MONTANA -- Yeaah, Alice! -- posted it and discussed it and variants in 1999, helped by a little quiet infrastructure support from Joe Offer, one of countless), check out variants mentioned, read another 10 threads and ramifications. Typical (yawn) daily Mudcat excellence at work. Take it for granted? (I don't think so).

yours, Peter T.
