Jim C- I do not understand the mention of Ray Davi(e)s & whether you consider his work of any value?

Also, nobody wants another argument about Ewan MacColl- we know your views about that.
As far as I can see, there are no 'unsubstantiated stories' about him on this thread, so when there has been no criticism, such a stout defence of the man seemsseriously over the top, so just get that chip off your shoulder & stop provoking arguments when they do not exist!
