Actually, as I looked at the track list, I remembered four other songs on the original tape, three of which made it onto my copy. One was "The Little Computing Machine" by you, sung by a woman with an accordion accompaniment; "Rocket Rider's Prayer" by you and sung by you; "The Wizard" by Golden Bough; and an instrumental which I always figured, for some reason, was also by them. Has there ever been an album on which those songs appeared together, or was the person who made the original just a fan of both Golden Bough and you?

Interesting (At least to me) notes:

The tune to "The Little Computing Machine" always brought to mind a woman who used to dress up in traditional garb and sing at a local craft bazaar, selling LPs and/or tapes (This was a very long time ago).

"Rocket Rider's Prayer" was my favorite of the funny songs.

Your mention of Golden Bough as the inspiration for "The Little Computing Machine" was what jarred my memory about "The Wizard" and the instrumental. I had tracked "The Wizard" down at some point, but kept forgetting the name of the band. Until you mentioned it.
