I think Walter's contribution to folk music was astounding. As was that by the Copper family, Fred Jorden, Scan Tester and many other source artists. At the risk of being set upon though I will admit that not all of it is my cup of tea and not being able to listen to more than a few songs at one sitting. I know this is my fault and by working at it I may get more out of their work by working at it but, to be honest, I don't want to do that. Shallow? Maybe. Short of time? Definitely!

Jim did very kindly send me a CD set of "The song carriers" some years back. Thanks again Jim:-) I did find it hard going at times but persisted and learned a lot. I must try to find them again. Or download another set? Is that still an option? At the risk of thread drift into other source artists though, does anyone have any recommendations for what a Gnome of limited attention span and a liking for English dance music may enjoy?
