I haven't seem him at the National FF for some years & was pleased to knew he was a regular at the Albany Shanty festival, he just wasn't crossing the country. I have good memories of him at the staircase singing session at the National. It's the best singing space at the festival & was always packed, I left one morning at a respectable hour - 2ish??? - 3ish??? - he stayed until 4.30 & around 10 he was at the second best singing session, Community Hymn singing with Ozcatters Hrothger, JennieG & friends - the place where believers & atheists could have a good sing. He looked a tad tired! Rest well, Fritz.

I recently posted a 2006 photo of him on here image 9 there's also a slightly blurry pic of Margaret covering both ears - she is surrounded by Danny Spooner & John Warner! I might add 2 more recent pics - I added 3.
