As ever, thanks to all. Fine late summer reading. It had never occurred to me to link the bardic folk song to science fiction (even though I dimly recall Anne MacCaffrey's dragon stuff having something about this). I had a couple of interesting e-mails, one recommending one or two of the sections of Joan Baez' autobiography ("And A Voice to Sing With") about the experience of being on stage, fiddling with your guitar, trying to connect with your audience, etc. I have yet to run across the kind of thing rock and roll and C&W is filled with, both reportorial writing of the experience, and interviews about the folk life with well known artists. There must be one or two about the Celtic crowd, surely... Yours, Peter
