"Could you state clearly what you are implying here"
I'm not "implying anything Hooy - I asked yo to name the bokk you said you had containing the two songs you claimed MacColl had copyrighted songs - no implication - just a simple request
Sve claims thheir Traeller songs were copywriter - - the book, 'The Songs of the English and Scottish Travellers' was copyrighted (as was 'The New Penguin Bokk of Folk Songs') - the individual songs certainly weren't - they remain in the Public Domain, as they should   
"Surprise, surprise ??? Re my question above; No answer.."
I've been away since Thursday and arrived back rather later than I intended - what are you implying
Still like to know what the publication was
I have become rather bored with all the 'MacColl stories" - most unsubstantiated and virtually all which painted a picture of somebody I never knew and bore little resemblance to the MacColl I met in the mid sixties and who I came to regard as a friend and source of ins[piraition over the twenty-odd years I knew him - that goes for his partner, who I still regard the same
I'm really not interested in the opinions of those who didn't know him, nor their largely unsubstantiated stories - I am interested in the wealth of research and ideas that he left behind - the fact that it is virtually impossible to discuss those ideas because of a mountain of "name-change - war record" garbage, interests bme deeply
I sat with two friends yesterday, both singers and both fascinated by the work Pat and I described we did in Ther Critics Group - we had to put coats on to protect ourselves from the blast of two open minds
