John 'Babbacombe' Lee website

Blimey!

There is an entire website dedicated to John 'Babbacombe' Lee. An interesting read with some previously unknown snippits of information (he died in 1945 in America, apparently):

Blimey!  Incredible research there.  I've just lost an hour of my life...

I've just lost an hour of my life...

Not as much as Lee lost!

[Anna]

True, but it's an hour I won't be seeing again...

[PLW (Peter)]

Amazing! There's at least three more concept albums in that lot!

Do we think he did it, by the way?

[fat Billy(Bill)]

I never used to but after reading that lot I think perhaps that he might have.
He seems to have been a bit of a dodgy character

As for John Lee - well the (modern day) jury's out on that one. Does look like he wasn't whiter than white though.

I still have my badge with the picture of the noose, saying "Don't Hang John Lee"

This is soooooo eerie. 

A few hours before returning to this web site, I was discussing the John Lee story to coworkers,
that have no clue about the LP/CD and know only a bit about Fairport Convention.  If not for me,
they wouldn't know they existed.  For shame.     

Anyhoo, I asked them if they knew the story of John, and then proceeded to do a Google Search,
to show them what I was talking about.  They found the story interesting, I then told them how
Fairport had dedicated not only a song, but a whole Album to John "Babbacombe" Lee.   

I get home from work and see this thread, and go.......... Whoooooaaaaaa!        

Now, I gotta pull up the murderresearch.com site.   Thanks!
