Dita . . thanks, but it's hard . .

Yes, you are right . . I checked the info. on "Special Agent". I was surprised there was no recording between Golden Vanity and Special Agent - especially since "Special Agent" was more-or-less a "side project" from his mainstream solo work of that time. (To me, Special Agent really sits alongside the second Andy Cronshaw Topic album, rather than being representative of Martin's work in the folk clubs of that time.)

I can't remember the year I first saw Martin . . however, it was the 2nd Bracknell Folk Festival, and that weekend was also the first time I saw June Tabor (this was some years before they were working together . . ) One thing I love about Martin and June is that there's nothing of the celebrity about them . . they are delightful people as well as sublime performers . .

Oh, and unless I'm very much mistaken Guest is a she . . her prejudices have finally given her away.

But thanks for the kind and calming words! They are appreciated, very much. And you've managed to switch me onto thinking pleasent thoughts.
