No, I don't know that song. I only got to play with him once, at that festival. He had heard a bit about me, had heard me play with Pete Seeger, and made a point of looking me up at the festival, attended one of our dance performances (I was both dancer and musician), afterwards asked me to play a bit for him, then invited me up to join him the next day for a set of, as I recall, about five or six songs. We only had about an hour to practice together, but we were able almost immediately to find a group of songs we both knew and where my playing style meshed nicely with his playing and singing. I played concertina, recorder, and for one of the songs pipe and tabor. I had sung occasionally with Pete, but didn't with Gordon, there wasn't time to work anything up and anyhow, he was so good and he was the one the audience came to hear, so it would have been inappropriate. He was an amazing man, a truly nice man, and so willing to share the stage with an almost unknown musician. It was just once, but it's a treasured memory.
