The stories of Harry and his eccentricities are legion.

He once threw him self to the floor in front of a complete stranger faking illness (or epilepsy, versions vary). When asked why he said he needed a drink and he hoped they might offer him a brandy.

Bob Dylan and lots of other artists owe an awful lot to the anthology.

The story of his collection is fascinating and well worth googling for. And of course it was published without regard for copyright or anything legal like that.

Glad he is having a festival devoted to him and in such a lovely place.
