Lyr Req: The Evening News (John Bassette)

I'm looking (in vain, it seems) for the lyrics to John Bassette's "Evening News". John was a staple of the Hessler Road Street Fair in Cleveland, Ohio, and I have only seen one copy of any of his works West of the Mississippi. Can anyone from the Old Homeland (Ohio) or anywhere else help?

I believe it was on the album, "Wine and Weed", but might have appeared on "The Saga of the Emerald City Cowboy". Thanks!!!

No joy with web searches, I'll ask spaw (in Ohio) to check this one.....

Sorry....no help here either. Hollowfox may know something of him, but I don't know diddly-squat! Cleveland isn't really part of Ohio anyway........

Seriously, I recognized the name but that's about all. PM to Hollowfox maybe will turn up something.

Looking for the lyrics to John Bassette's "Evening News".

John was a staple member of the community in Cleveland, Ohio, and while his recordings aren't often found outside the area, I am hoping that someone has a copy of "Wine and Weed" or "Saga of the Emerald City Cowboy", and can help me find these lyrics.

Please respond to me at gafferbear@yahoo.com

Thanks.

There are a number of John Bassette cuts on YouTube, but be sure you spell his name correctly--that is, with the 'e' at the end.
