I'm not sure if the song is traditional or not; I think it's a Thompson composition actually. Robyn has covered "Withered and Died" and "Calvary Cross" by RT as well. -- TJC Ceci n'est pas une sig.file. bj835@cleveland.freenet.edu From: mad5c@server.cs.virginia.edu Subject: newsgroup alt.music.fegmania To: Hitchcock Fan-List Date: Tue, 7 Feb 1995 13:43:54 -0500 (EST) Does anyone use the newsgroup?

As to Robyn, I have just found "Globe of Frogs" for the first time... and I LOVE IT!!!! I love "Balloon Man" and "Sleeping with your Devil Mask" What I can't tell, however, is if they are using a piano or a hammer dulcimer on "Globe of Frogs" Anyone out there know? -Wom wombatm@aol.com "Yipyipyipyipyipyipyipyipyipyipyipyipyipyipyipyip..."
