I love that album. I love the fact that he sings 'Roger Esq', as I do, having heard it on the great Phil Tanner's recording. How and when did it get out to his neck of the woods. Hamper didn't have much connection with the folk scene so it's good to see that he is not forgotten. How is he doing nowadays? Anybody know? Is he still alive even? I'm so glad that somehow Rounder got him on record, God Bless 'em. Hamper's sense of fun and zest for life came leaping off the record, plus the impression that he'd sampled quite a few fruit jars at the time. Somebody please post news of Hamper McBee
