Just returned from the funeral, several 'folkies'were there besides a large family turnout.

Besides the normal hymns at the Baptist church, the nicest touch was, in my view, a lone guitarist playing a favorite tune of his , 'The Galway Shawl', and we joined in with the chorus, ... felt a bit like being down at the pub on a folk club night, I think he would have liked that as a send-off, even though there was no liquid refreshment other than tea.!

As they say in the parrot sketch, he's climbed the curtains for the last time,
