I'm here for folk song and music, and have been since about the end of July 1997. You can find some histories on my website, which will soon be 3 years old. Also there a list of my scientific and a few folklore related publications. The last one's not in yet, but is a review requested by the editor of 'Folk Music Journal' of EFDSS of the Bodley Ballads website and Steve Roud's broadside ballad and folksong indexes. It's in the last issue (2000), which came out last December. If you search the forum for my name you'll find I've posted a few times previously. WBO in DT is me, but some credited to me are really from MS (Murray on Saltspring)

Impressive carrer, well yes, I guess maybe, but exceptional, no. Good scientists are intelligent and highly motivated workers and very hard workers, and I know many that have had a lot more impressive carrers than mine.
