Ken was a folk song collector and many of the source singers he recorded came to his house while I was there playing with his daughter. I was probably only 8 or 9 at the time but rememeber these amazing singers just being able to stand there and sing. He published books and papers on folk song collecting and was also a major mover in the CND movement in the early 1960's. The songs they sang are what I am singing now, some collected by Ken from those very singers. I was just too young to realise and it is only now, 40+ years later that I have been able to say thank you. Every time someone opens any of his books or sings one of those songs it is a tribute to him.
