I picked "Last Fare" in spite of the CD version, picked "Whippoorwill" from a pre-Vuelta radio show version, "Balloon Man" from the EP, "One Man's Arkansas" from that rough live recording, will be picking "May" next round (yeah, the matchups are already set, so I know what it's up against) off the original Fast Folk recording, and will likely be picking "Reunion Hill" (depending on what song it faces in the round of 32) in spite of the Royal Canadian Fife & Drum Orchestra version on the CD. BTW, listened to the "Blue Divide" CD on the way to work this morning. Although he's explained why he did it, I much prefer the original order of verses #2 and #3 in "Mary Magdalene." But I love the way Richard's voice fades out at the end, allowing Mary/Lucy's voice to hang out there. We're getting down to the wire, and two pairings are pretty much tied . . . let's get some more votes in!!
