What Mike says - than really needed saying
Thanks to Ewan, Bert, Bill Leader and Mike himself, our generation were given access to a world we would never have known existed - and we got great pleasure from if (some of us who survived what came after, still do)

t was Mikes generosity when we both lived in Manchester that awoken my desire to learn from the old singers and they, in their turn convinced me that their claim to the songs they sang were fully justified
Nobody hes conceded one inch that the old singers might have made the songs yet have offered no explanation why they didn't
It seems to me that some people don't want them to have made them - all I can say is that it's a pity people were never able to spend time with them

By the way - regarding 'music making' - this tends to ignore the fact that as far as songs are concerned, we are being invited to share ideas and experiences, not watch musical performances
