Can I get a word in edgewise, fellows?

Poor mouth, schmoor mouth.

Who, and WHERE, are the co-sponsors of this virtual event?
Sure, the artist is in the UK;
however the list of sponsors is a list of
organizations in the USA.

Martin Carthy spent many a year literally going round the continental lower 48 states, bringing his performances in person to us in the United States.
It is unlikely that he will pass this way again, in person.
Even if he does come again,
I doubt it will be for one of those lengthy tours
such as he used to do
when he was half his present age.

So, we North Americans have our own reasons for doing this,
and I venture to say,
money is not the most important consideration here.
Some of us heard Mr. Carthy in person here in the States years ago
and we miss him.
We want him back any way we can get him.
All right? Thanks for listening.
