I've listened to all the programmes and they are wonderful. My only complaint is that they re far too short and that Sam's version of Maid Of Australia is cut -- probably too risque for the BBC back then.
It's tempting too laugh at the stilted BBC delivery of the announcer but by the Lord Harry he knew a good song and a good singer when he heard them and he deserves all our thanks for preserving Sam Larner for us.
Just this little bit makes me understand why Martin Carthy was blown away by Sam all those years back and makes me wish I'd seen him perform.
