Better yet, you'll get Cosmo, the Fairly Accurate Knife thrower, plus some others. I'm sure others will come up with more. I added "songs" to the thread title to draw more music. -Joe- |

I used to gig an old peoples home, and there was this old guy from the fairs. he always uswed to ask for I've got a lovely Bunch of Coconuts. I think travellers and showman's sites and magazines will be the place to look. |

It is interesting because it seems it was written immediately before a whole spate of songs with similar themes regarding fathers not going to the mines. |
