Thread Name: A new CD of Ted Edwards' songs
Subject: RE: A new CD of Ted Edwards' songs
Yes, I have plenty! I've sold around thirty to date, so Ted is well pleased. I feel really honoured that I was asked to perform three of the songs... Penny for Mary, Ladybird and Coal Hole Cavalry.

Unfortunately, he had a fall in his kitchen two weeks ago, and cracked some ribs, which has curtailed his activities completely. He'd be glad of some letters and emails, though!

His stroke (in 1992) left him paralyzed down his right side, and he had to learn how to speak again. The problem is, if he loses his balance he has no way of preventing himself falling heavily on his right side... his arm gets in the way, and he cracks some ribs - sometimes worse.

He is surprisingly upbeat, although he is in some pain.
