The site hatched way back in the halcyon days of 1994 with the inception of the Robyn Hitchcock Song List (™). Four years later it went online for the first time at www.JH3.com. We have not been able to contact JH3 recently, so we moved to askingtree.com in 2015. A huge debt of gratitude is due to all who contributed to the effort over the years, especially John H. Hedges, Ramsey Shehadeh, Marcus Slade, Roberta Cowan, Scott Frank, Eric Cassidy, Mike DeLong, Jeme Brelin, Eddie Tews and John Partridge.
We also wish to express our great thanks to all the friends and associates of Mr H who provided information, corrections and memories to help grow and improve our data hoard. Including but not limited to: Robert Lamb, Morris Windsor, Kimberley “Sinew” Rew, James A. “The Great One” Smith, Alan “Wang-Bo” Davies, Jim Melton, Chris “Hamburger” Alexander, and most especially Matthew Seligman, whom we lost in 2020.
And much respect to Mr Robyn Hitchcock without whom, etc., etc!
