She's going back to teaching music after the holiday and wants to teach this one to her kids. We've found the lyrics in the Forum, but no tune. She'd love to buy the album Don recorded it on called "Live ARR!" by Bushleaugue Records, but we've been unsuccessful in finding it. Anyone know the tune and/or where to buy this album? Thanks a bunch, kat |

The note on the photocopy says the words are as sung by Tom Lewis at Mystic 2003. sandra |

She heard it among a swirl of bunches of other music on New Year's Eve, so it didn't quite stick.:-) If no one else comes in with, let's set a time when I can call you to have you sing it and I can record it direct form the phone or you could send me an audio file, okay? Thanks a bunch, ya'll! kat |
