nice article Bob

I only knew John for about a year, but sang with him every week at song circle for most of that year. A curmudgeon, but gentle with a big heart. Two things he didn't like - the blue book (when used in the song circle) and songs by Bill Staines. I once sang a Bill Staines song, which didn't sound like his typical songs. When John asked me about the song and I told him who wrote it, he begrudgingly said "well, I guess he wrote one good song."
