So !!
Who but the dinosaurs of the revival know him as anybody other than his chosen name Ray?
His is really small-minded stuff and obviously so
I'd put some of Ewan's ideas on how to work on singing if I thought anybody was interested in that sort of thing

ike Grosvenor Myer was a great admirer of MacColl's work and said so often enough on this forum
Ironically, so was Karl Dallas, who constantly insisted un using the Jimmy Miller crassness because of a personal spat
He shamefacedly admitted the stupidity on Living Tradition when I pointed out that he and his then wife did singing bookings under his own name ' Fred and Betty Dallas' - 'Karl' looked far more dignified for a writer'
Dallas did fantastic work in the early revival and, with Ewan and others, produced some of the finest magazines promoting the best of folk music - they fell out at one stage
Bert and Ewan did the same but they always respected each other for their contribution
That doesn't seem to happen any more - even some researchers take pleasure in dissing the work of others, regarding them as 'rivals' rather than fellow folk-lovers
If anything is guaranteed to kill of a chance of a future for our music that is
I do wish people would realise that
