Dear Paul,
You said, in reply to what I intended as a 'funny':
> Obviously a case of mistaken identity.  It is truly bizarre that I even know
what you're talking about but I will admit that my grandfather took great
delight in introducing me to that tune circa '61.  I was a very young Minnesotan
back then.

Dear Paul,
It certainly may be a case of mistaken identity.
Sorry about that.
However, this is the entry which comes up when you Goggle "Oly Swenson, King
of the Great North Woods".
It appears to have come from the DJML Digest.
Kind regards,
Bill.

What is it with you Minnesota guys? If you're going to steal something and
then distribute to the general population, at least be sure the recipe works
-- this ain't "hot dish."

Since my parents were native Minnesotans, I feel a certain responsibility to
point out that this "Minnesota Virus" is a hoax, you betcha. In the real
one, you forward the virus first, THEN delete all the files on your hard
drive.
