to Jim Carroll.I believe Macoll contributed Thirty foot trailer and FREEBORN MAN to the radio ballads,.
what was the problem with Brun contributing his own songs were they not good enough ,or was it that Macoll didnt want any other contemporary songs other than his own.
I am curious as to why Brun allegedly tried to pass off his own songs as traditional[Having seen some of his songs I think they are ok, but not as good as Macolls].Brun clearly didnt put great store by the word traditional ,he wrote songs in a traditional style as did Maccoll.
fINALLY many other songwriters have passed off their songs as traditional and succeeded[is it really a great sin].Is it not more important that he introduced the Stewarts to Macoll,PLUS his work on behalf of the travelling community.
