Kathy, that's one of my favorite albums! I found it in the Hershey, PA public library in 1973 when I was a first year medical student. I still have the rather fuzzy cassette tape I made of it on my cheap recorder, and listen to it often. It was my first introduction to folk music of the British isles. I love "A Lum Hat Wantin' a Croon" -- I was tickled to learn, through the Mudcat, that it was written by a doctor!

As far as that line, I believe that "harry" means the same thing as "harass" (the accent of which is properly on the first syllable), namely, to bother or disturb--as in "harried". I figured that "snowflake's nest" was either a poetic metaphor or referred to the local name for a kind of bird.

Aloha,
Mark
