1. apparently it is

The Streets of Laredo
This song has origins in the misty past as a British broadside ballad. (Meaning that the words were once sold on a single printed sheet, perhaps on Grub Street in London, for a penny or half penny.) The title then was The Unfortunate Rake, about a young soldier dying of syphilis. That song was later reworked into another broadside ballad, The Bad Girl's Lament, about a young lady who made a poor career choice. Captain Grose thought it "old" in 1785, so it could date to as early as the first European VD pandemic in the 16th century. Yes, we realize the melody is almost the same as My Home's in Montana. But it is a truly great melody and Wylie thought it would be good to honor the memory of those who have been shot or made poor career choices.

2. Hey Mike!

I think there's something wrong with your transfer. The sound is very wobblely sounding. On my machine, it sounds like your singing from Diver Dan's workshop! When i listen with headphones, the fidelity sounds fine, but i think you might want to check it out, and see if you need to upload again.
