Oops, missed my handle off the previous two postings. Finger trouble.

The highlights of the Stoke Folk recording for me are Jeff and Jill Parton/McLean's contributions. Jill was a fantastic singer - whatever
happened to her? - and Jeff is a real magician at things with strings.
Mind you, his a capella version of the Bonnie Black Hare is the best
that I have ever heard. It differs quite a lot from the Carthy
words and tune recorded in Digitrad.
