The assorted replies have given some info - he started Furness Morris, says Gordon Jones. The song that Dave is after starts Oh what in the world is the world coming to You cannot trust other like you used to do, They rob you and cheat you, put you to shame They’ve no morals at all and they won’t play the game. Does anyone know the rest, and can anyone supply the tune? Many thanks! |

There also appear to be some collections of his floating about and referenced in folk music journals. Unfortunately, Stuart passed away in 2001. |
