Grandma's Featherbed

I was searching for information on this song, but didn't find anything on Wikipedia other than that John Denver sang it. Is thee a way to request someone research this song and add information on t to your site? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:A000:1504:41F1:3896:D2AD:62CC:57B8 (talk) 16:02, 19 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It was written by musician Jim Connor (a member of the New Kingston Trio), and the story of its writing and presentation to John Denver is here. It may be something of a moot point whether either the song, or Connor himself, are notable enough for a standalone article. Ghmyrtle (talk) 16:17, 19 May 2017 (UTC) PS: More about Connor here.

I've now added a brief mention to the article on the Back Home Again album. Ghmyrtle (talk) 21:57, 19 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
