Re: Top 20 Filksongs

Coming out of lurkdom... Tom Payne creditted this to a group he had watched perform, he probably even has their names etc. While he performs this grandly, he has never claimed the song was his.

Kitt (Kain) Bradley (lyricist for Dixon's "Minstrel Song", among others)

PS If I still have his e-dress lying around, I'll forward this to him. KKB
