I was so saddened to read about Stan on facebook this week.
Remembering the Bothy Folk at The Blundell Arms and enjoying hearing Stan play the whistle or singing. The most gentle and kindly man.
Although a more infrequent visitor to Folk Events over the last 30 years or so i've tried to keep up the contact and it's always been a pleasure to see Stan and have a "catch up" chat.
Here's the chorus to one of my favourite of Stan's songs
"I live in Trafalgar Square.
With 4 lions to guard me.
Fountains and statues all over the place.
A metropole staring me right in the face.
I vow it's a trifle draughty, but I looka at it this way you see.
If it's good enough for Nelson
It's quite good enough for me."
RIP Stan
