Joe Bethancourt participated in the Travis Edmonson Tribute in Phoenix on May 9, 2008, at Fiddler's Dream.
This song was written by Frenchman Jacques Brelle in 1961 as "La Moribund" in 1961 and translated into English by Rod McKuen in 1963 as "Seasons in the Sun."
As Joe notes in his introduction, the Terry Jacks' version varied from the original in many significant ways.
And speaking of Bud and Travis + cabaret/Euro music - they also did a bang-up version of Will Holt's "Raspberries, Strawberries."

Don't know how I missed this before. Adding it to the article on the song on my CompVid101 blog.
