I met Stan in the mid 80s on CAD course. He wasn't that keen on the course so he mainly regailed us with stories of his younger years and love of folk music. So I knew that he performed regularly. I then had a chance meeting with him singing by a market in South Liverpool. He told me he was going to be playing in the Yankie bar in the following days. So I went aling with a gang of mates. We had a great afternoon and he had the whole pub singing along. Met quite a few people in the folk music scene after that who knew him and often asked them about him, but our paths never crossed again. He was certainly a great character with a lot of good tales to tell.
