John, that would be fantastic. I'll contact you seperately to discuss. I'd also like to pass on copies of these recordings to a couple of cousins of mine (Josh's son by Sheila, his first wife, and his neice), both of whom I'm sure would be very grateful to hear this material. Somehow or other, precious little vinyl survived in the family over time, although I did somehow end up with a couple of Josh's Dylan albums ('The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan' and 'The Times They Are A-Changin'').

That Ding Dong Dollar link is, I think, thread.cfm?threadid=49837#754599

On your last point, perhaps 'The Wee Ferry' (that crosses the Clyde) qualifies as another relatively lightweight exception. I have the single floating around somewhere. It's a song I've been unable to find any reference to on the web or in here -- must dig it out and see who wrote it and which label it's on -- but perhaps you remember it? (They're no very bonny, for streamline they lack/ They're the same at the front as they are at the back... They're clever wee boats, you can bet your last pound/ They go backwards and forwards without turning round... The sea is the place for romance, so they say/ But the ferry has always had its part to play/ For many a man and his bonny wee bride/ First met on the ferry while crossing the Clyde... etc). Ridiculously catchy!

Many thanks again

Kyle
