GUEST,jim bainbridge Seeking the Pitman's Bible (31) RE: Seeking the Pitman's Bible 15 Mar 18


I'm pretty certain that Louis got the Exodus story from Jim Irvine, MC of the Marsden Inn folk club in South Shields in the mid sixties.

I had got it from my pal John Greenwell (who much preferred Ray Charles to folk music) in the Grey Hen pub in Harton about 1963 and I gave it to Jim in written form- he made a great job of it, and often recited it on Marsden Rattlers bookings- we did not do GIGS!

We were often favoured by visits from Louis in those days & I expect that's how Louis got it.

nb this is not a claim that it was the original version, just a comment which may be of interest
