Subject: RE: Collapse of the Folk Clubs
I heard a great one last night, I conversation with my mate Locky, it was about a friend who had bought a Fishing boat in Cornwall and sailed it up to Scarborough, in the dim and distant past this friend had taken Locky to see his folks in Cornwall when L. was at Uni in London, this friends Grandpa, on hearing that locky was a folk singer, told a tale of someone bringing in a tape recorder to the pub and was buying free drinks for anyone who would sing a song, word got around and he said that even he crooned words that he made up on the spot to get his free drink, he reckoned they were all it, making songs, or snippets of songs, up to get their free drink!
