Lighter-

I think you're on to something. And, yes, I'll be happy to exchange cassettes with you; might take me a week or two to get around to it though. Let's confirm details by PM.

I did email Cyril Tawney and asked if he knew anything about this recording and he responed that it was one of several similar recordings that was produced at that time.

I find "Jenny Wren Bride" the most interesting song, describing the wedding plans of a dockyard couple. It's a great look at another maritime related subculture.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
