Bye the bye, I believe EBarnacle means the tune for the thrashing machine, not for Daniel O'Connell's Steam Engine (making babies by steam). Please try to make your references clear! I copied the first message about the thrashing machine onto the Daniel O'Connell and his Steam Engine thread. I think we are just making messages now for Joe Offer to delete from the DTStudy! Although I don't think the Thrashing Machine is a related song, it is an interesting connection to make as the actual words of the Dan O'Connell song don't say anything about a train. So I did add it to the other thread. Please put the concrete info here at the DTstudy thread and your other speculations and chat about the song at the discussion thread.
