More contradictions I'm afraid-
* You would like to us to discuss Ewan's work.
* You correctly suggest that the Lyric FM programmes would make a good starting point.
* Peggy Seeger enjoys the programmes and asks if they can be made available in the U.K.
* You write "is it worth it, I ask myself?" Why, Jim? If you think that the programmes are insightful and important, why not just jump at the chance and try to get them embedded on - let's say - the new MacColl website where they can be made freely available to British listeners?
* You write "Both of them deal mainly with Ewan's work as an artist rather than a personality - may not be to everybody's taste, I'm afraid." You are trying to move discussion on from aspects of his personality to discussions of his work with the Critics Group. You are the one with the tapes of their meetings. What are you afraid of?
