Thread Name: Folklore: John 'Babbacombe' Lee
Subject: RE: Folklore: John 'Babbacombe' Lee
I've seen some of the biog..can't seem to find any record of a stone in milwaukee (forest hill cemetary)..Just finished listening (again, till my ears bleed) to FC's masterpiece. Can't help notice that I was born a hundred years after Lee and am now the same age as he was a hundred years ago when he was freshly released and on the countryside whirlwind 'tours'....(oh no). Wonder if there are any artifacts from those days..how did England view him..sympathetically like Swarb, cynically?
