   responsibility to make it right. And he    
   did. Good story all; the way around.

   What more could you ask for: Copyright records and a personal statement from   
   Arlo Guthrie. Job sorted.   BTW< I think Willie's is the best version, too.   
   Sorry, Arlo- you ran him a very close second!    from Casey in the U.K. where   
   we have Country Music    
   fans too.
