I just saw John Gorka a few weeks ago and his encore was 'The Water is Wide', 
on piano.  It is indeed an old folk tune - looks like more than one artist is 
discovering it.

The song '29 Ways' was written by Willie Dixon, and has been covered by 
(among others) Marc Cohn on his self-titled CD.  I assume it's the same tune?

- --I got 29 ways to make to my baby's door, and if she needs me bad, I can 
find about two or three more?--  Is that the one??

Thanks for these excellent reviews!

Hee hee... I love "Kingdom In The Sky".  I hope there were some Disney

Did they get Julie to sing this one?

Um... aren't those [some of] the words to "Shenandoah"?  ("Away, we're
bound away, across the wide Missouri...")  I can't think of any way that
the words "across the wide Missouri" fit to the tune to "The Water Is
Wide".  (I've always liked "The Water Is Wide", even if I'm not sure if
it's a happy love song or a sad love song.)

Tell, tell!  I love "Santa Margherita".

Dramatic beginning, isn't it?  It very nearly made one of my labmates
spill his soda last time I played it.  :)
