Luke is the only one who ever has done 'a one-timer' to me: I wasn't so much into the folk music at that time (latter 1973), but a friend of mine had talked positively about the Dubliners, so of curiosity I bought The Dubliners Live (that happened to be available right then), put it on the turntable, and, after the introductory FLs&SP: "thank you very much ... well in the neat little town they call Belfast ..." - he's been my number one favourite ever since! I don't think anybody can beat him, what comes to the range of expression. If you listen to, say, "Come and Join the British Army" on one hand and "The Unquiet Grave" on the other, you'll see what I mean. AKS
