The Ladybird Book of Folk Song, which has a full page painting of that fateful moment back 1903 when Cecil Sharp heard John England singing The Seeds of Love. Alas, I do not have a copy myself, otherwise I'd scan it in for all the world to see.

Anyone???

My favourite book on music right now is Deke Leonard's Rhinos Winos and Lunatics - The Legend of Man, a Rock n' Roll Band; the prequel Maybe I Should've Stayed in Bed - The Flipside of the Rock n' Roll Dream is pretty good too. Essential reading for anyone who loves music and good, honest writing from someone who's lived most of their life in the trenches of real music and somehow lived to tell the tale.
