"*I just wonder how many people we have like that, who may well take their songs with them one day.*

Sounds like Cecil Sharp to me."

Would you care to elaborate, Lizzie? In what way did Cecil Sharp not record and archive the songs he collected?

Villain, you're right about Brian. Songs - and SO much more. A lovely, lovely, thoroughly self-depricating man. Someone needs to collect it all from him - the problem is, he doesn't acknowledge the value of all the wonderful things he knows!
