I didn't catch what he sang during the Roseanne Cash/BAM appearance (give me the approximate time and I'll take another look), but "Winter Song" by Lindisfarne and "Winter" by Declan MacManus are two different songs.
EC says the latter is the first song he ever wrote, at age 13 or 14. He's mentioned it before; he definitely talked about it to Marian McPartland when she interviewed him for her show. He usually says he doesn't remember how it went, but mentions it to send up his earnest adolescent gloominess at the time.
I don't think it will be showing up on any "unofficial releases", unless there was a taper in the right Twickenham church basement, circa 1969.
