Thread Name: Ewan MacColl - any first-hand anecdotes?
Subject: RE: Ewan MacColl - any first-hand anecdotes?
Kevin: in interests of accuracy [someone once wrote on another forum "MtheGM, your pedantry is legendary", which I think she meant as a put-down but I took as a great compliment] ~~ as I was saying, it's "Don't COME the cowboy with me, Sunny Jim".

And how delightful that Ewan should have recognised and appreciated his beloved daughter's somewhat different sort of achievements.

This is not in any way to belittle the fascinating insight of your anecdote. I am reminded of the photograph Ewan [or, perhaps, posthumously, Peggy?] chose to have included in "Journeyman", of Ewan giving Kirsty away at her wedding, clad faultlessly and correctly in morning suit and tall hat! I can imagine he might have jibbed a bit, but submitted to it to please her; tho this is of course mere speculation.
