If you send me Roy's number I'll give him a ring. Meanwhile I'll try and set the ball rolling with the number for the library quoted above.
Great post about Gordon Hall and his work, also the comments about both Henry Burtow and Gordons musical and academic capabilities. Makes you wonder about the oft quoted argument that the tradition survives best in the hands of the illiterate, because it can not be fixed in writing. Old Bert Lloyd used to argue against that one.
If we never hear a peep from Burstow himself, its been great to see so much interest in him and his songs.
