Thread Name: Lyr Req: Short'nin' Bread
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Shortnin Bread (from Paul in Maine)
Hey, "Guest" Paul from Maine; Whareabouts in Maine are ye?
Yarmouth heare; bunch more Folkies around Portland town, and one or two to be found about Bath as well. If'n ye gits down this way, we'd love t' do some jammin, y'heah?!

Does anybody know the approximate vintage of "Shot'nin Bread"? I wonder if I'd be too out of line picking it on the ol' Minstrel banjo at a Civil-War reenactment.

And you think that "Shot'nin Bread" is "Un-PC"?; you oughtta see some of the old original "forbidden verses" of "Oh Susanna" by Stephen Foster!
