Thanks, all --
The Folk Roots article is most helpful, Stewie. How I obtained a copy is another wonderful story of friendliness and cooperation among folkies. I checked the usually excellend NY Public Library music collection, but that very issue of the mag was missing. I called Sing Out! and left a message, hoping their library had a copy and they'd be willing to fax it. Then I checked out the fRoots website, hoping they'd have back issues online. They didn't, but I e-mailed them, and got into an e-mail exchange with editor Ian Anderson, who ultimately faxed me the piece. Meanwhile, Sing Out! assistant editor Jeff Millar had agreed to fax me the piece, too -- I called him when Ian's fax started coming across the machine and told him he needn't bother.
But, Stewie: I can't find the reviews on the Musical Traditions site -- can you point me in the right direction?
Anyway, yes, Allan I have an e-mail address for Tom, but he's in Sweden, and checking e-mail sporadically. But yes, I'd love a copy of the Electra record -- sounds wonderful. Shall I send you a blank cassette? Should I post my snail mail address here? So kind of you...
