Tune Req: skivee sent me

Skivee told me about his discussion group. Since Sept. 2000 i have been seeking the name of a song i heard played once on the radio in the Wash, DC area: the Traditions show, by Mary Cliff. She kept no playlist, can't help me. Can you? Beautiful ballad-type song. Male & female voices i think, not sure. Not sure about instruments either. A repeating(?) line: "we will throw our troubles into the air and the wind will blow them all away like barley in the wind." Mary Cliff mentioned both Battlefield Band and Steeleye Span, but i don't think so. would be so grateful to anyone with any info on this. the song played at 10:30 PM EST on Saturday night 9/16/2000. thanks!

My first guess would be a variation on the "Wind that shakes the barley"

thank you, but i've listened to that song and there is no similarity at all with the melody. could it be something by dovovan? catie curtis? jonathan edwards? the host of the radio show gave me their names but i doubt it. help ......
