"the official records show that he was using the name at least until 1949."
That's what I said - it was changed then
"I have no idea who you are Jim,"
I was a friend of Ewans for twenty years - when you slag him off u are slagging off a fear friend
He and Peggy kindly gave me a bed when I moved to London, I was in the Critics Group until it broke up and continued to work with them when it broke up
Pat and I still see Peggy, I went to Oxfortd for three days for a 2 part radio programme we did on Ewan to mark his 100th anniversary
Some time before he dies, Pat and I interviewed him in datail over 6 monthsd - on his work and ideas rather than his life, which has ben cob=vered ad nauseum and to fasmily friends who grew up with him
I spent hours talking to his mother Betsy
With the co-operation of the family, I am now putting together many hours worth of recordings of classes and seminars Ewan and Peggy did and the few things he wrote so thtat, even if you people aren't interested the most important body of work ever done on singing folk songs, over thirty years worth, will not be lost
Waddya wanna know !!!
If you continue to behave and contemptuously and as arrogantly as you are at present, nobody who matters is going to tell you anything
What are you people afraid of - he's not gonna come back from the dead ad bite your arses
He was a nice guy and he and Peggy were the only people I knew in the revival who were prepared to give large lumps of their time energy and experience to help other, less experienced singers like me
