Great singing, Lew. I'm afraid we don't have front porches in Hong Kong. I suppose I could sing on the balcony, but I don't know where I'd put the camera - and it would probably disturb the neighbours - a few feet away.

Thanks for the smile...

[MissPickletoes]

Very nice!! I grabbed my Bb tin whistle, and tootled to your tune. Thanks for a great time as usual!

The greatness of your performance is inversely proportional to the badness of the economy we now have. Nice job!

[lewdite]

Your equation is welcomed...

John,

I just downloaded Lonnie's version of this the other week.....on my roster to learn....

well done!!!

the Carl Sandburg's Songbag.....is that a book?....sounds like something I should have?

[lewdite]

Donegan changed the words (diamond rings etc)... This is the first version that i learned but I changed immediately upon hearing the Lee Hays version some years ago.

Carl Sandburg's "The American Songbag' (1927) is indeed a book. I found my copy in a second hand book shop a few years back. A wonderful book if you can find it.

Very nice delivery. I love front porch music.
