I regarded it as a tragedy when Dick suddenly left the scene, not only because of the cultural loss but also, and not least, because of his personal plight. I too saw him live a number of times (he once signed a big batch of my LP covers of his albums!), and any folk-aficionado who missed out on his live performances, well that was your severe loss is all I can say. I'll be watching out for your follow-up to this and wish you all the best in what is an extremely worthy endeavour.
