==We spent a fascinating night with one of the Traveller singers we were recording (who specialised in long narrative songs) when we took her to a folk club as a member of the audience. Her estimation of the proceedings was, shall we say - extremely educational.

I recall a Sunday afternoon in 1956 at C#Hse when Peter Kennedy used to run a monthly singaround. Good occasions - all sorts of people used to come: first place I ever heard Bob & Ron Copper. This partic day Mervyn Plunkett brought along several of the Sussex source singers he had been collecting from. Old [80+] George "Pop" Maynard looked around at the assembled guitarists & said, with mixture of contempt and curiosity in his voice, "What's all them wires for? Going to catch some rabbits?"

I suspect a line he might have used before — there was a sort of 'twinkle' in his voice: but, as they say, up to a point applicably here, se non è vero, è ben trovato.
