I was even lucky enough to be introduced to and record one of Zoltan Kodaly's singers in Hungary


Here we go again with the collectors 'owning' the people whose singing they recorded!


But this is interesting, and I doubt there was much 'luck' involved.

The story behing this meeting would be interesting: how did it come about that Jim was in Hungary with recording equipment? Was this 'luck' or was it planned as a folk recording trip? How come he was introduced to this singer? Who was the singer? When and where did this happen? Who made the introduction and why? Was it planned before or after Jim arrived with his equipment, and by whom? How was Jim's Hungarian itinerary planned? Because this doesn't sound like a series of lucky co-incidences and the full story would be interesting? How did Jim know what the song was? Who chose the song? How did Jim know that this was in fact one of 'Kodaly's singers'?
