One of my all time best friends (I tend to think that way about diarists).

He's one hell of a good source Thomas. How many people do we know who not only RAVE about the "new" ballad of Barb'ry Allen....but sleep with with the singer as well?!

Oh, and like him, she too was married.

His story of buying an expensive French Harp for his wife (knowing full well she wouldn't play it) and then moving it into HIS music room, is one of my all-time favourite "human nature" stories.

Finally, how could a Mudcatter not love a man who never went anywhere without his Flageolette in his pocket?
