Bummer. I play (and sing) a version of the Shel Silverstein song by that title ("...I did not like the tail!"). Inspired by Ken Sweeney's performance at NESI a few years ago. Was this the same song? Whose performance?

Hi Dave

 

I hate it when that happens. Fortunately they re posted it this morning.

 

I'm pretty sure it is a derivative of "Child Ballad #289"

I just got lucky. Hopefully it will last a little longer.

 

Thanks

Leo

 

Nope didn't last any longer so I fixed it again

And Calvin Cairns, on Anglo, sounds polished, too .... even if I'm not overly keen on his style.
