I'm glad you wrote it again, Jim, as I don't remember reading it
before.  In 
fact, I don't remember hearing it on a recording,  either.  Your remarks
had 
me scurrying for my recordings of DWS.   


	Chris, listen to track 9 on Bobby Brown's "Grandfather Mountain"
CD, if you have it. It's a very good CD.  I always remember DWS this
way.
