It was his "Sawney Bean" that first caught my attention when Blackeyed Biddy performed at (I think) the Stonehaven Folk Festival. Lionel was warm and helpful when I asked for the story behind the song. My precious art student funds were diminished when I bought a cassette, yet my musical and personal wealth were increased beyond measure. Thank you, Lionel. My condolences to family and friends.

PS If someone could send me a PM (Private Message) as to how I can buy a replacement of "High Spirits" (with The Ballad of Sawney Bean), Dunkeld CD 14, 1994, I'd be most grateful. Mine went in the fire.
