The canonical version is Clarence Ashley's "The Coo Coo Bird" from the Anthology of American Folk Music. Ashley attributed almost religious significance to the song, saying for many years he wasn't ready to perform it. The version I have from him is from 1929.

However, if the Entities allow me to go on a TV show, or other major venue, my revelations will burst the subliminal bubble. Therefore, my assigned role is to let people know in a low key manner; however, very few people accept my theories consciously. Most readers do not accept them, but because they read them, the theories percolate in their subconscious and make them accept what is happening and understand it at a subliminal level. If the Entities ever arrange for me to reach a wider public in the future, this will mean that the Great Work will have been just about complete. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 21 Mar 2003 10:53:44 +0000 From: "Matt Sewell" Subject: Re: We could gather, throw up beer As far as I know there have been three in the last couple of weeks...
