I don't do much of this Mudcat business but, as I've said earlier in this thread (or a one similar), Don was responsible for getting me involved in this great music when he asked me to sing at Hammersmith F.C. in about 1972.
I'd gone along to see Blues man Long John Bawldrey and I didn't even know what Folk Songs were. I'd never sang in public before that but I managed to give a terrible rendition of The Blackleg Miner which I dug out of some remote memory bank.

I continue to mention this whenever we do a 'Meet the Wilsons' session at Festivals recalling how really rubbish I was back then but how Don encouraged me and gave me confidence to practice and keep trying - and here we are now.

Thanks a lot Don - I'm forever in your debt!!
