Everything in that post is new to me. I know the songs and like each of them particularly. It is is curious how widespread the connections are.

Thanks for the post.

Well, not really, but I was singing his Jordan Am A Hard Road To Travel the other day, and realised that the tune is a 4/4 variant of the 6/8 Scots music hall song The Day We Went Tae Rothesay O. Add to that the Dixie Darling tune being called the Karelian Polka in Finland, and Away And Away, Bound For The Mountain [unsure of usual title] being as Pete Seegar tells a Hungarian polka, and Uncle Dave is as he should be a citizen of the wide world.
God bless and save him.
