You bet I was! Recorded Marie Hare, Alan Kelly, and Wilmot MacDonald, among others. Produced an LP of Marie Hare, which I later allowed the Canadian Society of Musical Traditions to reproduce up yonder as a cassette. Louise Manny helped with the notes, but I loved her even more after she sold me her copy of Ord's Bothy Ballads for $5 US! Ian Robb later opened that book to the frontispiece photograph and pointed to a chap in the front row. "That's my grandfather!" he says.

After one of the festivals, we came back by way of Joe Estey's place where he sang, among other ballads, a superb "Hind Horn," after which we stopped off to record some dandy songs from old James Brown. Wonderful stuff! Great singers! My debt to Sandy Ives is immense, and his is a friendship I truly cherish.
