I've never discussed religion with him, so don't know about that. But certainly a character. One summer trekked across the Sahara with a camel, then the following year (or the year after that, my memory isn't too clear) trekked across Greenland. He was also really miffed that he'd been just too old to be picked as one of the astronauts on Challenger - this was before the tragedy. And always a superbly professional performer, one of the greats I was privileged to book a number of times at folk clubs I was running at the time. Never a dull moment with Ted, and a great loss to the folk scene when his health deteriorated. I think the lyrics for his "Coal and Albert Berry" are on the web, but none of his early stuff. It would be good to get hold of much of his material, he never wrote a bad song.
