Someone else who knew Motherwell: Andrew Blaikie. I have no idea how much you can find about him in print. David Johnson was researching him near the end of his life, and I heard him give a talk about Blaikie that filled an hour with interesting stuff none of which I wrote down. Probably the last time I saw Johnson alive. This stuff is presumably in orderly shape in Johnson's nicotine-reeking papers but where they went I don't know.

Somehow Blaikie's ballad tunes dropped out of sight. I think the transcript on my website was the first time they ever got published in full. Whereas the other half of his manuscript, the copy of the Straloch ms, got a fair bit of attention.
