The following was received at the LINER NOTES by e-mail 12-12-2000:
In the Kingston Trio space my biography shows no date of birth. It's January 3, 1926 . . .
. . . I wrote the lyrics to Coo Coo U (Which is actually "Coocoo You" and (less notably) "World's Last Authentic Playboys" which was also recorded by the Whiskey Hill Singers.
Actually my most enduring lyric is "Better Than Anything" which was recorded by lots of people, the most successful were Al Jarreau and Tuck & Patti (although Irene Kral and Sheila Jordan made the best versions for my taste - almost as good as Bob Dorough's). With the latter I wrote "Whatever Happened to Love Songs" which is on his "Right on My Way Home" CD.
Thanks for evoking some nostalgia.
