It attributes the song << Hey, Schoolgirl >>
to Tom and Jerry.  Words and music by Arthur Garfunkel
and Paul Simon, copyright 1957 by Paul Simon.

On page 302 is a black-and-white photograph of Tom and Jerry.
They look an awful lot like S&G, except for what appear to be
red blazers with white handkerchief in the pockets,
bow ties, white buck shoes, and flat top haircuts.

The song contains the immortal lyrics, Who-bop-a-loo-chi-bop !!

I know it by a group called "The Original Caste", about which I know
little.  I believe that was who had a charted hit with it, though I

I agree, "Who Knows .." is one of the most beautiful songs I've heard.
Sandy also did a version of it with the Strawbs which I like at least
as much as the Fairport one.  It's a very simple arrangement, with just
vocals and acoustic guitar, and it sends shivers up my spine every time
I hear it.  It's on a vinyl album I have called "All our own Work", by
The Strawbs featuring Sandy Denny, on Pickwick Records.  Its apparently
the first recorded appearance of either the Strawbs or Sandy Denny
(1968) and was released after both become more well known.  It was
recorded in Copenhagen on a two track machine.  Audiophiles may have
some problems with the recording quality, but to my ears it has
an immediacy and freshness to it, and there are some great performances
and songs on it.  I don't know if it's available now in any format,
but I think its well worth picking up if it can be found.

A big thanks to all who have praised Cheryl Wheeler on this net.  I went
to see her Friday in Columbus.  She's great, she's wonderful, she's
terrific.  She did "Arrow" and "When Fall Comes To New England" so now
I can die a happy woman.  Let me underscore what's been said in the
past:  she is a fine humorist as well as singer/songwriter.  It's been
a long time since I've laughed so hard.  Anyone walking by the hall would
assume they were walking by a comedy club from the crowd's response.

According to her introduction, she may have a CD out in January (Rounder
records).

If you have an opportunity to see her, do it.  If you have an opportunity
to buy anything of hers, buy it.  Some people here on the net have
mentioned the difficulty in finding some of her stuff, but I saw two of
her CDs at a large Camelot store here a couple of months ago (of course,
they were both gone when I went back a week later).

One more plug:  Even if you've never heard one of her songs, you'd have
a great time at her concert.

It is indeed for real.  I couldn't give you exact directions (as my brain
was a tad addled last time I was there), but it's very near Gaoth Dobhair
(Gweedore) in northwest Donegal.

I met up with some locals up there a few years ago, two brothers called
Gallagher (isn't everyone in Donegal called Gallagher?  ;-)  We proceeded
from Teach Hudai Beag to Leo's, and in the course of the evening they
poured about 15 pints of Guinness into me.  (Nice lads!)  

Leo knew them, and came over and chatted with us for a while.  None of his
famous offspring was there at the time, but Leo had his accordion out and
sang up a storm.  It was a wonderful evening all told, except for returning to
Ostan Doire Beaga later on and having an altercation with the front door ...

"Listen children to a story that was written long ago about a kingdom on a
mountain and the valley far below.
On the mountain was a treasure buried deep beneath a stone and the valley 
people swore they'd have it for their very own.

     Go ahead and hate your neighbor, go ahead and cheat your friend
     Do it in the name of heaven you can justify it in the end
     There won't be any trumpets blowing come the judgement day
     On that bloody morning after one tin soldier rides away

So the people of the valley sent a message up the hill asking for the buried
treasure, tons of gold for which they'd kill.
Came an answer from the kingdom, " With our brothers we will share all the 
secrets of our mountain, all the riches buried there."

Now the valley cried with anger, "Mount your horses, draw your swords!"
And they killed the mountain people, so they won their just reward.
Now they stood beside the treasure, on the mountain dark and red.
Turned the stone and looked beneath it...
     "Peace on Earth," was all it said."

I think I have one of these ( Austrian Zither ).
A friend gave it to me. It has a 5 string fret board down
one side and about 27 strings for the zither part. Looks
kind of like an autoharp except it doesn't have any chord bars.

The questions are :
1) How do I tune the thing ?
2) It is missing a few strings on the zither part, what guages
are appropriate ?
3) How does one play it ?

I saw the show here in Madison on Sunday nite, and it was fabulous, 
and it was recorded by the local folk music radio folks, for broadcast 
on 'Simply Folk' at some unspecified later date!

I heartily agree that this is not a show to be missed.  John McGann is 
indeed touring with them (at least, he was here) and he too is not to 
be missed!  Alas, no beer was served (except to the musicians), and 
two hours flew by like ten minutes.

Enjoy!!

PS--If someone else saw the show and is willing, plese let me know if 
Johnny Cunningham made the 'safe music' joke at other shows!  Almost 
half the fun was listening to the three speak about the tunes before 
each was played, and hearing whatever else they had to say!

   This rings bells, although not the ones with the title on 'em...the end line
