In fact, James Lea was an incredibly versatile musician who had studied classical fiddle, and the band went through a relatively unknown "folky" phase after the initial "Crayzee now" phase which is well worth exploring. |

I think this tune has possibly been written many times in many places. I think I may have written it a couple of times. |
