Hmm .."Broadwood's prodigious memory" ?? My last post was not proofread properly before the button was pushed! That should, of course, have been "Burstow's prodigious memory". (For all I know Ms Broadwood, who was an awesome hard worker, and whose daily recorded exploits leave me feeling exhausted just to read about them, may have had an equally impressive recall, but I wouldn't know! LOL)

Interesting that you should mention the matter of RVW and the list of subscribers Jon, as that had crossed my mind, and I had meant to check through the listing when I got home after work last night. (Doctor Who got in the way). It does seem strange. However, my impression is that, as with other singers from whom she had collected,Lucy harboured a fondness for Burstow, which would make her subscription quite understandable.Maybe RVW didn't have that sort of a connection ?(Wish I could claim to be as knowledgeable as you suggest ... but I'm definitely enthusiastic!)
