Subject: RE: It's Hamish Imlach's birthday today
Yes indeed, he was a very neat picker, and very knowledgeable. South of the border you don't hear a lot of the songs he used to sing nowadays. He was just so natural, you never suspected he was trying to mark out folk music for an elect few. a great communicater of folk tradition, you really felt that he wanted everybody in on the secret of how great this music is.
