GUEST,Nerd Trad ballads in a Graphic Novel?? (33) RE: Trad ballads in a Graphic Novel?? 26 Jan 08


The Vess book is fine indeed. Great fun!

Two things rankled me a bit: one, they do not note that "The Black Fox" was written by Graham Pratt; it would have been a nice acknowledgement for him. Two, in the performer biographies appended to the discography, they ignore Bert Lloyd, depite the fact that it was Lloyd that taught these songs to most of the people who DO get bios, such as Carthy, Frankie Armstrong, the Dransfields, Fairport, Steeleye, etc. Still, I know both Charles Vess and Ken Roseman (who did the discography and bios), and I know there was no intentional slighting being done.
