I am always sorry I never got to meet Legman, he appeared to be a fascinating man, though I did have a postal encounter with him at the time of his publishing the second volume of his 'The Rationale of the Dirty Joke' - No Laughing Matter.
We tried to buy a copy, but found it was virtually unobtainable in Britain (in the mid - 70s).
At the suggestion of MacColl and Seeger, we wrote to him and recieved a courteous reply with an address, telling us that he had contacted his London agent instructing him that if we should call, to let us have a copy.
We were given an address in one of the more seedy streets in Soho; when we called we found it to be situated right in the heart of the red-light district in a bookshop that dealt with bawdy, erotic and outright obscene publications - an unusual source for what I believe to be one of the great studies of bawdy amd erotic humour!
MacColl and Seeger were great friends with and admirers of him; they told me they one stayed with him in an old Knights Templar's palace somewwheer in Southern France (Valbonne?)
