I have had over the past week and more occasions to express my deep sadness at Major's death, firstly on the other Mudcat thread where various folks have asked what had become of Major since his Greenwich Village basket house days. Much information and appreciation is to be found there. I have also indicated that those who would be interested in some personal recollections of my old friend might look at the website www.patrickcarroll.co.uk where, in the memoir category, especially in chapters 9 & 10, there are some accounts of the man, and in the more recent post, Dublin 50 Years On, which also features some episodes of Major's initial visit to Ireland in 1971.
Definitely not forgotten.
