Thanks friends, I did write a great deal in the 60s and 70s mainly for up and coming folkies! We had quite a polital folk song revival then and I wrote quite a few 'themed' LPs. Scottish battles, the Highland Clearances, Jacobite rebellion, Robert Burns, Anti polaris, Uper Clyde Ship Builders work-in and various other songs. Most of the songs were recorded but as I am not a singer/writer, although I am a musician, most of the time people credit the singer with the song and often the singer keeps stumm (if that's not a contradiction in terms!). I set a lot of Burns' songs to the original melodies and changed a bit here and there and I hear these now and again from various 'old' singers who assume they are original, but why not? Hugh McDiarmid compared some of my work to Burns ahich I considered a great compliment. Anyway I'll be here for a while so if there is anything else I can help you with feel free to ask and thanks for the nice words I'm hearing. Cheers, Jim Mclean
