Also you never saw him in the same room at the same time as the popular singer Ned Miller, who famously sang 'From a Jack to a King'.

Of his later career as a French footballer named Roger Miller, of that there is little question. However experts differ as to whether he was also working under the name Bob Miller and the Millermen in the BBC radio programme ....Parade of the Pops. On the face of it - not likely - but so rich in musical possibilities - how can we ignore this avenue of research?

The Miller name is the only clue we have as to these activities, and that's why its SO important to keep mentioning what Ewan's real name was.

A big thankyou to all who have strived with the culturally important work of keeping this tradition alive. One day your diligence and devotion, in a largely uncaring world, will reap its reward with a special mention in the Folkmusic 101 course.
