On Monday on the 7th of December now in 2009 I found and bought the following used and in a good condition/shape being c-cassette from a local flea market "Toimitalo" at Ahlström-street 6 in my home town of Pietarsaari ( ---://---.pietarsaari.fi ---://events.pietarsaari.fi ) here in FINLAND ( ---://---.finland.fi ) for 1€. On the label of the c-cassette itself there are years the 1962, 1963 and 1964 that I suppose to be the recording years or the copyright years of this c-cassette. I don't know how rare it is nowadays to find just exactly this compilation as a c-cassette or as a LP-record:

" SETTLE DOWN WITH ROGER WHITTAKER " (Philips c-cassette n:r 7176 018, SONIC SERIES)

and its songs and the songwriters of the songs are the following:

Side 1:

1. " Settle Down" (Settle)
2. " After The Laughter (Came Tears) " (Detroit)
3. " Steel Men " (Martins)
4. " Acre Of Wheat " (Alquist)
5. " Mud Puddle " (Crofford)

Side 2:

1. " The Sinner " (Rother/Parish)
2. " Times Is Tough " (Haningoth/Patrick/Stanton)
3. " Butterfly " (Lowe/Mann)
4. " Santa Anna " (Seeger/Gilbert/Hays/Hellerman)
5. " Jenny's Gone (And I Don't Care) " (Settle/Ribback)

In the spring 2009 in March or in April I found and bought from the same flea market the following LP-compilations of Roger Whittaker:

- " Mexican Whistler - The Dynamic Roger Whittaker " as two (2) different LPs, the other one recorded in the year 1967 (Emi-Regal, SRS 5022) and the other one recorded in the year 1972 (Fontana n:r 6459.201) having different recording companies but having exactly the same pieces, songs and recording (exactly the same Lansdowne Series-recording) but having of course different covers of the LP-records.

- " All Of My Life " (Philips-LP n:r 6318 101) recorded in the year 1974.

P. S.

"Santa Anna" seems a very appropriate title at this time of year Smile

Well Chris,

With the terrible weather you're having in the U.K. I think "Times Is Tough" is also appropriate! Exclamation

Thank you! Yes, it's been a little difficult tryimg just to get to and from work this past 7 days. We had a particularly nasty (for England) snow storm on Monday meaning that some of my colleagues took 6 hours to get home (16 miles away). My normal 15 minute journey took about 40 minutes so I was relatively lucky. This evening the rain has started to melt the snow but it's still only just above zero so fingers crossed (I live on a bend on a hill so it's dangerous to venture out on foot or in the car when there is ice about).

Merry Christmas everyone!
