Actually, Steve, Dick was correct. Speaking of 'Folk Songs from Somerset', the characters DO state angrily that 'It don't say where the songs come from!' - and that ain't true.

The play's portrayal of antagonism between Louie Hooper and Sharp is entirely fabricated. She wrote a fulsome posthumous tribute to him for the benefit of his biographers, mentioning spending 'many a happy hour' singing to him and remarking on his generosity with gifts of clothing, cash payments, and the concertina he gave Louie, which he apparently enjoyed hearing her play.

Yes, it's only a play (and did have some good points), but I hope no-one will take it's depiction of the relationship between the characters as in any way accurate.
