Breezy,

PM = Personal Message - a useful service for communication between individual MudCatters. For a variety of reasons many of us are wary of providing detailed names and addresses in the Forum, but the Personal Messages are just that. If you go to your personal page (link at the top of the Web page)and follow the instructions thereon you should find it straightforward.

I'm in Harlow, Essex.

I'm not sure whether the 1812 stuff I have was recorded by me "live" or was off the radio. At the time (1973!) I had a reel-to-reel setup that I used from time to time to record gigs at the Bishop's Stortford Folk Club that I ran then. The material in question is on a cassette containing transcriptions that I made when I disposed of the reel to reel. There's about 20 minutes worth, "Drill ye Tarriers" (a most un-PC version!), "Wonderful Day", "Draws", "Busker's Nightmare", "1812", "Last Thing on My Mind", plus chat.

Funnily enough, it was through 18+ that I first encountered Derek and Geoff! I seem to remember that they were on "Opportunity Knocks" (not very successfully) but I don't think they ever got as far as making a record.

I can cut you a cassette very easily, and a CD might be possible in the New Year if Santa brings the software I have asked for! Send me your snailmail address and I'll do the rest.
