'she's the one who says in the middle of the song: "Good morning, Mr
Leitch, have you had a busy day."'
I wonder if this is a reference to Donovan Leitch who Simon would
certainly have come across while in Britain.

The Redesdale Hornpipe over the sound system under a lot of other

playing I saw it was a Simon and Garfunkel track called "Fakin' It".
I've just dug around a bit and found this Youtube video featuring it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ft7mUK29GY8 . It comes in around 2.03
and is only about 12 seconds.
It would be interesting to know if they ever credited the tune -
though given Paul Simon's well know plagerism of Martin Carthy's
"SCarborough Fair" perhaps he would call it "The Underhand".........
