[Gathnet] Old Man Platypus

[Stuart D Gathman]

Some years ago, I was reading to Gail from "A Zooful of Animals"
[http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0395778735] and she asked me to sing
it.  I told her that songs begin with 3 notes, and to pick three on the
piano.  She picked A, G, F#.  I played those notes, and continued
playing in the same vein for a very nice folk song.  On that occasion, I
wrote it down immediately afterwards.  (I wish I had tried to do so when
Carolyn Lauck was making up Broadway style words on the fly while I
played Broadway style music on the fly.)   I don't know when I'll get to
record it (recorder, but no studio at our house, and people demanding
quiet), so I have attached a PDF.  Maybe Beth can play it on the
guitar.  The ABC source is also attached if Jon wants to play with it.
