    the New Lost City Ramblers mention ... apochryphal songs
    they thought they might sing, such as "I'm lonesome in the saddle since my hoss died" and "You left footprints on my stomach when you walked out of
    my heart".

    I composed "Footprints on my stomach" around 1963, and sang it at the 1971 Philadelphia Folk Festival with Michael Cooney, with Dave Bromberg on slide guitar. Taught it to Jean Redpath, who sang it in Carnegie Hall around 1978. See youtu.be/ExGpQVPzpYA

    It is glorious to see that, at times, there's still a pterodactyl
    delighting in wheeling through the sun-lit heavens. Keep singing!
