The Fab Farq legend continues...

While I was way down yonder in New Orleans (in the land of the dreamy scenes, there's a garden of eden, ah-you know what i mean), Bill Dempsey dropped this note in response to Notes from Ned from November, 2006:

I worked in a bluegrass/folk group "Open All Night" and we did a version of "Dear John Deere". Lately, I've been thinking of recording the song. (I've done three self produced CDs.) Found a recording of the "Roadside Review" with "Dear John Deere". My understanding is the song was written by "Barnswallow Farquahr" or Doug Lapham from the group "The Fabulous Farquahr". Anyone else have any more info please let me know. Thanks!
