Subject: RE: ADD: Mother Carey's Chicks (Ron Baxter/Rapunzel)
Might be time to start the long-promised Fleetwood Fishing Songs Permathread which I proposed a while back as a repository for the work of Ron Baxter, Dick Gillingham, Dave Pearce and others, material connected with Fleetwood and its fishing industry (could extend to Grimsby and Hull, and anywhere else with similar history).

Ron Baxter's first effort, "Lord Middleton", must be getting on for forty years old - there was a bit of a gap, then a flurry of activity with Fleetwood Folk Club's production "The Final Trawl" (1982), and since then Ron has continued to produce a constant stream of songs on this and many other topics.

Joe, I'll PM you with my ideas for that.
