What's in a Name?


Close to twenty years ago, I heard the greatest anti-war song ever and recorded it onto my cassette recorder. There were some immediate problems. I didn't know the title, or the artist, quality was poor, volume was low, and it was dead in the middle of a ninety minute tape. Retrieval was quite a task, but at least I could barely hear the song when I accomplished that end.
All changed this morning, and "Terrible beauty is born."

If Randy Newman and Loudon Wainwright had a love child, I think he might sound like this. Great job tracking it down after all these years...

Colleen: You are right, it certainly is a distinct voice.
I can use your system now. On my computer, I have not only the title of the song, but the artist.
