Hi folks!

I do not like to let die a thread I had start, but my computer crashed this week (and is still kockned-out), so I read your nice and knowledgeable posts only today.

I'm glad to see that the beautiful music of MJH is well-known, and and it's wonderful to know how we were lead to his work, between the sixties and 2000... The post of Surdough made me laugh and think; ultimately, I think I envy you to had live in a wonderful period, and discovered his music in other way than mine; I bought a CD with the smilin' face of John Hurt, and for me it was something like an historical document; I mean, he died before I was born. A big problem indeed: I often read that the folk revival was made by people who discovered this music through recordings; how do you think it is now?...

Last Saturday, I made play at my radio show « Salty dog», « Stagolee » and « Candy man », and the beautiful song mentionned here, « Did you hear John Hurt ».

Thanks for your posts.
