Subject: RE: Favourite Performances You Were Lucky to See
When I was a kid the only folk type songs around were the likes of Froggy went a Courtin, and Big Rock Candy Mountain These were sung by an old man called Burl Ives who lived in that far off land America. When I grew up I went to work for a T.V. station and we did a programme called Stars on Sunday One day Burl Ives was guest on the programme and he hadn't got any older. We chatted for about an hour about his songs. I worked 16 years for that company and met many "big stars" but the one I will always remember was Burl Ives. Cheers Bill
