Bob was also the person who introduced us to Harry Cox -- I used to give him lifts [he couldn't drive] over to Norfolk to work on Harry's collection of broadsides -- I remember one afternoon when Bob & my wife Valerie were sitting at the table sorting broadsides while I sat by the fire talking to Harry. You will find that several of the tracks on Harry's Bonny Labouring Boy collection are attrib'd "Collected by Bob Thomson & Michael Grosvenor Myer"; & I published, under our joint names, an interview with Harry in Folk Review, Feb 1973.

More drift. Sorry. Just thought you might be interested in background info on someone you obviously highly regard, Bob.
