I can also recommend a book about S.R. called "An Unfinished Conversation" which gives quite a good insight into the man and his influences. Published by Penguin, it's ISBN No. is: 0-14-023068-8. I picked mine up in Canada about 4 or 5 years ago, for about $15, hopefully it is still in print.

Rick & Michael - have you ever heard Stan's concert in Bermuda? It was never an official release,but Archie Fisher let me listen to his copy a while back - amazing! Pretty much like "Between the Breaks" (my favourite) but he's just that gnats' sharper and less user-friendly with the hecklers in the audience. Refreshing to hear a performer who wasn't afraid to lay it on the line.

Just re-read what I wrote there - I'm not trying to imply that Archie and I are buddies! What it is, is that he presents a folk programme on the Radio Station I work for, and as well as being both talented and charming, he is also generous with his knowledge to amateur folkies like me. He's a great guy!
