Subject: RE: morality of collecting
Im sure ferret publications are very reputable.
Then there is also ferret music, A D TOWNSEND gent,a collection of English country dance tunes,compiled and arranged by A D Townsend Gent,published 1982,which carries an advert for Celtic music.
Im sure this publication is perfectly reputable,and hope that A.D got permission from Bob Cann to publish uncles jig[Bob Canns Uncle]family jig[BobCann].,Oscars jig etc.
of coure at this time alot of people like Katie Howson,Flowers and Frolics,OldSwan,NellieTheElephant,,were playing these tunes so there was no danger of them being forgotten.
I just hope that all future collectors at least buy their contributors a drink,as Im sure A D Townsend did.
A good collection of English Tunes,anyway.
