We recorded a song of Utah Phillips' that no one had ever recorded before, not even him - "Paddy Welcome Back." Sandy (bigchuck) had learned it from his little 1972 or '3 songbook and taught it to us.

Since there was no previous recording, we wrote Utah and asked for permission to record it. He graciously granted the same, and waived any royalties, as I understand is his custom. The only problem we had was that he addressed the reply letter to "Upchucks' Revenge." It got to us ok as he had the PO box right, but the Post office folks had a good laugh.
