Subject: RE: Folklore: The CND, who led, who followed ?
Thomas Stern, I don't know why Ray's recordings should refer to CND anti-polaris singers as she only knew us as friends but she was never involved and neither was Gordon McCulloch nor Bobby Campbell then. If you want detailed knowledge about those times, email me at jawmac@aol.com and I'll answer all your questions. I was a main writer of the Scottish protest songs of that period but never a singer. Jack O'Connor, Josh MacRae and Nigel Denver sang and recorded my songs but Ray and Archie Fisher kept clear of any commitment to political songs. See my posting earlier on for pictures of Josh, Nigel, Jackie O'Connor and myself. You can just about make out Hamish Imlach at the bottom left of the picture. He was an irregular singer/attender at the demonstrations. Regards.
