I am sure Jim speaks entire truth there. Whereas [slight drift alert but I think it follows logically from preceding]: as to American folksingers sent over by their record companies in 50s & appearing at Ewan & Peggy's Ballads&Blues — I was once one of a group invited back for a drink at his hotel by Ralph Rinzler about 1956; & where should he take us but The Dorchester in Park Lane!!! — I remember Robin Hall waxing highly satirical as we walked folkie·scruffily thru that lobby & getting us looked at somewhat quizzical by many a Dowager & retired Cavalry Colonel!
