Some nice comments, Mike of Northumbria. Alex was not bogged down with traditinal/contempory/folk/country labels too much, he just liked to sing and play to the best of his abilities, to and for the people. As one of his songs states:- Some people they say I don't work, boys, my life is all pleasure and ease, It's true that I ramble around, boys, drink whisky and do as I please, But I've worked all over this country, done most of the jobs that there are, And I like best to sing you my folk songs, and play my old Gibson guitar.
