Thanks for the words to Sonny's Dream, Tim. I love it, and I've been singing it ever since I learned it from Claudine Languille(sp?) of Touchstone, who used to sing it in concert, including the 4th verse (which she sang 3rd), crediting Ron Hines. I've never heard Ron's own version, but heard Jean Redpath do a simply dreadful rendition on Prairie Home Companion a few years ago (Country-Western just isn't her style...) My husband can't stand the song, so I don't sing it very often...

I have a bunch of song collections from the Maritimes, and will see if I can find any of the other songs requested, too.
