Jim Carroll

Don't have too much time to be involved at present - we've just been offered the possibility of publishing some of our field work, including a collection of Irish Travellers songs, which we will probably call (somewhat unimaginatively) 'Folk Songs Of The Irish Travellers'.

That is wonderful news, Jim. I'm so glad that you have overcome your instinct to "leave it on the shelf". It's obviously done you a power of good; the rest of that post is the most sensible and positive one from you that I have ever read.
