Hi,
I've just received a very worrying call from 'Folkiedave' to inform me that Malcolm has been taken in to hospital and is seemingly very ill. Either Dave or I will update this post as we get more information.

I'm sure all those who know Malcolm and have had queries answered by his encyclopedic knowledge of song on Mudcat, will wish him a speedy recovery.

Hi Malcolm

Get well soon. You are a gentleman straight form the top drawer. You have never failed to impress me with your knowledge and your helpfulness and your forensic approach to research and traditional singer.

Kind regards and get well soon

Dear Malcolm, I feel I have known you a long time- we've exchanged letters, greetings passed on by others, I've had your helpful posts at Mudcat- but I guess we have never met in person. Anyway, I hold you one of my friends, and hope we shall meet one day (this side of Heaven!- isn't there an oldtime song that begins, If we never meet again this side of Heaven...?) But- this is to let you know that George and I are thinking of you, and wishing you soon return of your strength, goodfeeling, stamina, joy of life. That you'll rally to enjoy the winter holidays- Christmas, New Years Day, the turning of the seasons.    Joy and blessings,    Jean

Latest 10.45 pm Uk time. Malcolm is currently not sure which hospital he may finish up in - there are two major ones in Sheffield - and he is in the wrong one - if you see what I mean.

So I will update people as soon as I know and thanks everyone for their kind thoughts,

It is my intention to print this thread once I have somewhere to take it!!
