Subject: RE: Help: Scottish folk songs
The tribute concert in Denmark for Alex Campbell was issued on CD, and has some remarkable stuff on it - some great and some not-so-great. Both Alex and one of my best friends Hamish Imlach were fantastic live performers, but people respond very variously to their recordings. Neither had the precision and pearshaped vowels that seem preferred these days, although Hamish himself was pear shaped. Hamish's autobiography, which I co-wrote with him, went out of print quickly and has not found a republisher. I'm currently considering offering it on the Net.
