My favourite tracks were on that Blues Project album - Southbound Train, with Tony Glover, My Little Woman.

On the Blues rags and Hollers set - I liked Creepy John, probably best. Blues rags and Hollers was very successful in England - John Lennon named it his favourite album of the moment at the height of Beatlemania, and of course its sales really took off.

I only saw him play the one time - at Les Cousins, Soho of course round about '68.- he played a loong version of Duncan and Brady. Grumbled about the length of the sets he had been asked to play.His work seemed to sprawl, in contrast to artists like Ralph McTell whose works were tight, carefully constructed vignettes.

Years later I talked about him to Derek Brimstone, who went round with him a bit in those years in England. Derek was said he seemed a bit distracted - sometimes playing te same song twice in an evening and not noticing. Something, I later saw Alex Campbell do.

He did a lengthy interview in Folk Roots a few years back. One of the few times I've felt tempted to buy that magazine. he was an interesting guy. he knew he'd lived through a whirlwind era, and realised he'd made a solid contribution to the world of folk music.
