I can't describe just how deeply this news moves me.I had looked forward to meeting Sandy and Caroline once again when I come over in October, but now the trip has lost much of its lustre. I met them for the first time in 1976, it was my first visit to the USA. We were on a festival together and they sought me out, told me they knew my singing from recordings and looked forward to hearing me live, and in general made a rather nervous visitor feel welcomed and at home,a typical action from these wonderful people. 'Folk Legacy' is aptly named because the gift of music and humanity that Sandy leaves behind is a legacy for us all, and a fitting tribute to him. Dear Caroline, Elaine and I send our thoughts and prayers across the ocean to you and the rest of your family at this grievous time. Dear Sandy, thank you for all that you were to us, and all that you left for us to remember. It is comforting to know that you left peacefully and with your family around you. But we will all miss you. Goodbye dear friend. In tears. Roy.
