Ralph McTell Songbook

From: Commander Crabbe

Around about 1974 when I first started playing guitar I had a Ralph McTell Song Book with a brown cover. A couple of the songs in it were Genesis, Old Brown Dog, Clown. Unfortunately it was borrowed and never returned. I have tried to source it to no avail. Anyone know where it can be found? Barring that does anyone have it and is willing to copy the same for me, copy and posting costs covered.

G'day: I also had that book and a similar story - lent it to someone and never got it back. However, he only lives down the road.
Thanks for jogging my memory. I will see if I can retrieve it and, if so, get back to you. I remmeber learning the Clown from it many many years ago.
