As a lover of oral history I LOVE this thread. Good luck to your project Kat, I'm sure it will provide much joy. Just as a by-the-way, George Ewart Evans, author of 'Ask The Fellows Who Cut The Hay' and many other works of oral history wrote a fine handbook on the subject called 'Spoken History', pubs Faber & Faber, 1987.
