You do have quite a mix there. But nothing classical? No old fashioned Jazz?

Phil Ochs - yup, my big bro took me to see him when he was mainly famous for "There But For Fortune" with which Julie Felix had just had a hit. My copy of OOASCOF is on American Troubadour too, though my bro has POTH on vinyl.

A propos Joseph Byrd (The Crucifixion) I see Portishead's "Half Day Closing" is reckoned to be something of a hommage to his "American Metaphysical Circus". Also, I see he was appearing in Manchester last week for the premiere of a new piece (WHite Elephants) by the Norwegian vocal group SPUNK and the distinctly oddball collective Dreams of Tall Buildings. Wish I'd been there....

They were really difficult Lisa, but it was good fun trying. If my hearing wasn't so dodgy I would copy this, but if I'd misheard every line in the first place it could be somewhat unfair!

Yeah, they were pretty darn tough (those not got at least), although for me they were all pretty familiar even if not in first line form.

Yes, I was astonished that no tin pan alley standards etc came up, or any opera, but then again the computer collection is a bit lacking on those sorta things. Not the overall collection but what is on the 'puter. And I have to say most of our jazz and classical is non-vocal anyway...
