Subject: RE: Can you help find a protest song from the 60s
Susan, My facination with Scottish Irish music I owe directly to the The Corrie Folk Trio and Paddie Bell. I found their first two Electra records in cut out bins at WT Grants Dept store in Auburn, NY. .49 if it was mono .89 if it was stereo. Since I was a big spender I went for the stereo disks. I also got a Watersons record and Paul McNeil, Traditionally at the Troubadour. I can't tell you why I was so taken by the Corries in 1966, being as there main target audience has since been identified as old ladies who wouldn't mind their negligable skills or abilities. As a 16 year old folk/rocker I was taken away to rediscover my Highland heritage which turns out to be considerable.

Regards
