Hi Liam's brother.

You say Harry Corbett also sings a great "Blow the Man Down" on your disc; I don't suppose that would be (a) Harry Corbett of Sooty & Sweep fame, or (b) Harry H Corbett of Steptoe & Son fame? Why do I think this is a silly question? All sorts of strange people sing folk - just think of Peter Peers and [forgotten her name! - did Blow the wind southerly, A fairy went a-marketting, etc.].

Another tangent, talking of operatic sopranos: did you know that Elizabeth Schwartzkopf chose six of her own records on DID?

Cheers, Steve

P.S. I can never get my list down below about forty-odd.
