No I didn't say he imitated her singing voice - her talking voice.

Why not get the dvd - its very good. he talks a lot about his abandonment of the current folkstyles of the 1960's. Particularly the trendy DADGAD guitar tuning - how he tried to stop the guitar dictating the tune - rather than accompanying it. Which is what I was tryting to say.

he says the there was no tradition of English folk guitar playing and he had to try and make it. Its as though he believes the songs simply didn't fit those Baez patterns - not really!

All I was saying, was that I'm damn glad I heard Baez singing henry Martin before I heard The Lofty Tall ship. i think its catchier and has more purchase on the sensibility of a modern audience. I can't see that my observation is even controversial.
