Does anyone remember a song of his that started "Let's talk about Jim". I would love to hear that song gain. It is sad he has passed ... but he will be remembered!

I recall hearing the song, "Skip a rope" back in 1968 as a 9 year old boy. I didn't really understand the song at the time per se, but still liked it. Many years later, I found the song again and listened, and listened. It certainly gave you something to think about, and it was a great song besides. It is still one of my favorites of that era to this day. Many years later, while working as an RN at a major hospital in OKC, he was my patient. He had had a minor heart attack. This was about 1993, and none of the other nurses had any idea who he was. I got to spend some time getting the know the very personable and interesting man that he was. I wish I would have had the forsight to have him autograph my record. I never saw the man again, but I have never forgotten him either, I suspect I never will.

I had the pleasure of meeting him before Skip A Rope, and my band backed him in Flagstaff, AZ after Skip A Rope. My favorite Henson tune is She Thinks I'm On That Train. He will be missed. R. B.

Wasn't that familiar with Cargill's work, and I'm curious to hear some of it now. David, thanks for this essay, and the tracks.
