Subject: RE: A Yorkshire Songster new book available (Gardham)
Still awaiting a correction from Cohen to one of the scores, otherwise Clive was going to press today.
I have done at least half a dozen proof readings but none of us are perfect so if anyone spots a glaring error please let me or Clive know and we can correct it in a subsequent rerun.
Just for the record, the original Marrow Bones was a shambles, even though many of us bought it and learnt songs from it. Frank sent EFDSS the first proof and impatient Peter Kennedy went to press without consulting Frank, so not his fault. Malcolm and I spent 2 weeks in Cecil Sharp House archives before they were all on the internet and went through everything with a fine-tooth comb before publishing the second edition, and just the fact that MD was on the case would be enough for most people.
