Subject: RE: Memories of Johnny Collins
Thanks, all. I'm kicking myself for not spotting Thomas Hanley - I've actually got Free and Easy!

So here's that track listing again:

1. Introduction
2. When all men sing (Keith Scowcroft and Derek Gifford)
3. Hooks and nets (Ian Woods)
4. The good wood (Fred Rooke)
5. Thomas Hanley (Roger Watson)
6. The bootblack's lament (Dave Cutler)
7. The boys of Killybegs (Tommy Makem)
8. Let peace prevail (Joyce Nelson)
9. Poor old man (Trad.)
10. Shiney-O (Trad.)
11. Blow the man down (Trad.)
12. English ale (Harvey Andrews)
13. Reunion (Cyril Tawney)
14. Time enough tomorrow (Alex Glasgow)
15. Shine on (John Richards)
16. Parting song (Dave Webber)
17. Last Shanty (Tom Lewis) and Marching Inland (Tom Lewis)
18. The Minstrel Song (Alan Bell)
19. Encore: The shores of Jordan (Iris DeMent)
20. Bonus track: interview with JC

That's quite a collection of songs - and songwriters; only one writer favoured with two songs, and I think that was inadvertent (JC did the intro for Marching Inland then launched into Last Shanty by mistake). A fine album.
