I've never heard this song before, though, and I consider myself fairly well knowledgeable on acoustic music. But a friend claims this is the ultimate live acoustic song. My question is: Who wrote it, and who has recorded it? (What albums can I find it on?) thanx Brian |

03 Jul 97 - 01:34 PM (#8037) Subject: RE: Please Come Back to Boston From: Mountain Dog Dear Brian - Sounds like "Please Come to Boston" by David Alan Coe. You can find lyrics, etc. at: http://www.roughstock.com/cowpie/cowpie-songs/c/coe_david_alan/ It may not be traditional folk, but, to quote D.A. Coe himself: "If that ain't country, you can kiss my a**!" Have fun. |
