Subject: RE: Obit: Graham Cooper R.I.P (29 May 2010)
News travels slowly in this part of the world, and will be even slower now Folkwaves has gone. I only just found out about Graham's death from reading the comments on YouTube.

One of the things I really like about the folk scene, is that there is a group of performers - I won't name names, but they know who they are - who probably only see us once a year or so, but treat us like long-lost friends, and even remember details about us, so you know its not a just a front. Graham was like that, my wife (girlfriend in the early 70's) and I met him several times, both pre- and post Harvey, and were always impressed with his performance. Another sad loss for the folk world.
