Thanks to all who have replied so far. It might help you to know that I am more than familiar with all that has been written about him, including Jim Cowdery's book, Lillis O Laoire and Sean Williams' book, Liam Mac Con Iomaire's biography of Joe, numerous articles in both Irish and English, and the complete MacColl/Seeger interviews with Joe. I am the person who edited the website devoted to Joe, www.joeheaney.org. What I would really like is any PERSONAL MEMORIES of encounters with Joe that would illustrate his relationship with the Revival and the Revival repertoire. I tried to make this clear in the question I asked. Thanks again.
