there's an old kingston trio song called the ballad of desert pete. i've been trying to find the words for some time, and have been unsuccessful. i did find a very interesting essay / sermon that refers to the origin of the song, that i found at http://www.social.tsukuba.ac.jp/ ~yamane/credo/tcac/950528.html.

if anyone can't find that site, email me and i'll email or fax you a copy.

many thanks!!
