Famous for walking offstage when he had completed a set, and not doing encores, one can only try to imaginge what it is like to be so popular when you don't expect or want it.

Play Jake, and have fun...I think he would like that, no matter what format.

There is a mistake in the transcription of the first verse of "Family Tree". It should say "There they perch for all to see", as it does in all the other verses.
