Glad to Sham. Duckboots' sister "Mcknees" sent me a copy and I've lent it so many times.....Damn, I've forgotten the name of the program!! AND it's on loan right now!

Oh well, I've started this now so I better continue. The program (hosted by Billy Connoly) visits a lot of the early songwriter and picker folk clubs and has great bits by Al Stewart, Archie Fisher, Bert, Hamish Imlach, and a VERY telling chat with Martin Carthy who in a mild way expresses his disgust for Paul Simon. It ends with Bert visiting Brownie in San Francisco, and a sad note is where Brownie tries to explain why there was "no need" for him to go to Sonny's funeral. It didn't wash, and was very awkward. I think the hatred had become so deep that it hurt both men tremendously. Perhaps if one or both of them had tried harder it might have been resolved.
