Subject: RE: Folklore: John 'Babbacombe' Lee
'there's a hole in the wall where a lorry came in..' you are a gentleman and a scholar Mr Ed. Tried to contact Swarbs missus to see if she has ever painted John-love her painting of her man showing some of his complexities..hope to hear back sometime. If I ever do produce a musical/play/production I will certainly video it and have it available for interested parties. Maybe I'll make it to cropredy one year and meet him. I wonder if I could get a gig or two in england (perhaps opening for folkies) playing old folk stuff on dulcimer eg strawbs, FC, appalachian stuff etc. Your thoughts? any market for an american playing that stuff in england?
