I know I'll regret this but...

Jim Carroll

go and listen to Walter Pardon, Phoebe Smith, Harry Cox, Duncan Williamson, Sheila Stewart, Texas Gladden, Joe Heaney, Jane Turriff

As a matter of interest, were any of these people invited to contribute to the Seventh Conference of the International Folk Music Council Held at Sao Paulo, Brazil in 1954?

(OK, Sheila Stewart might have been a bit young but what about her parents Belle and Alec of her uncle Donald?)

P.S. My father wasn't really the keeper of the Eddystone Light; he was a farm labourer. My mother wasn't really a mermaid; she was a stockbroker's daughter.
