I stumbled across his version a few months ago, but since you ask, I searched out his performance on Letterman. He is certainly interesting and unique. HIs voice is sort of Shel Silverstein doing Popeye after swallowing a didgeredoo. I still prefer Patrick Sky, but Baby Gramps' performance is a kick.
Thanks, Raymond. I very much appreciate the compliment from YouTube's "King of Eclecticism." If you don't know Raymond Crooke's marvelous video performances of (nearing 1000) folk, pop, rock, music hall, novelty, etc. tunes, all done as solo acoustic performances (with attendant background notes), you must check him out. Just click on his name above for a real treat!
Oilout—Thanks for your kind comment. I tried to post the chords, but as is often the case YouTube wouldn't take the comment, so I have mailed them to you. I would happily do the same for anyone interested. By the way, Patrick Sky's version is finally available on iTunes on his Harvest of Gentle Clang album. It's a great one!
Have you heard Baby Gramps' version of this song?
