Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Wee Magic Stane
I got married in March 1959, and moved to Hampstead & then to Cambridge, so I don't think I went to the Troub after that. But I wonder if our paths ever crossed, Jim ~~ did you go in the late 50s rather than early-60s? I remember the owner, Mike von Something-or-other, as rather a tetchy, short-tempered fellow. Do you remember him at all? Jenny Barton, later Jenny Robinson, who went on to be a folk agent/impresario, was another regular there in my time. I never greatly cared for Redd & Martin; always felt them on the verge of starting a fight ~~ & I believe their doing so was not unknown, tho not at the Troubadour I think. But I must say that Martin's is one of the best tracks on Peter Bellamy's The Transports from all those years later.
