He could put over anything. His version of "Somewhere over the Rainbow" was the only one I've heard that could stand up to Judy Garland's.

Last time I saw him was at Cambridge Folk Festival. In total command.
Without Lonnie Donegan I wonder how many of us would be playing or singing or visiting here? Including some who might never even have heard of him. How often when a session goes well - any kind of session, Irish, Bluegrass, whatever, someone will mutter with satisfaction "It's all skiffle...", and there's a murmur of assent.

God, they're dropping these last few weeks, aren't they?
