The Sam Larner clip was from "The Singer and the Song" made by Scan Films for the BBC and I have been agitating for BBC 4 to broadcast this and other archive folk material. Maybe an evening of vintage folk programming including a showing of Derrick Knight's often pillaged "Travelling for a Song" in its entirity?

The wonderful Elizabeth Cotten footage is available from
Stephan Grossman's Guitar Workshop.

Re. the folk as joke reviews: about two thirds of otherwise friendly pieces both recent and at the time of original transmission saw fit to comment about fingers in ears and/or morris dancing.

Re. Alinson's uncredited contribution. I've talked with Jim since earlier postings. I did at least clear her historic Dylan/Martin photo for which she (like every other photographic contributor) demanded no payment . She should at least have received proper credit. All I can plead in mitigation is multiple, simultaneous pressure and an impossible budget. Sorry.

The thing about the stills from "Chips" is the copyright is with the BBC not me otherwise I'd post 'em to all.

Love Greg
