Read your post last Jude, so when I got back from work work I re-read the part of the book in which you figure and given some of the authors comments, I am not suprised at what you said in your post. |

I didn't wish to upset Jude. In my defence I've yet to read the book.

I don't mind criticism (well I do, but I can live with it,  ) but there are some unfair and as far as I am concerned, untrue statements in that book.  Which of course then get used as fact. This is only my opinion, but I think it is a deeply unpleasant book. And no, I'm not upset by you, Jules or your mention of it's republishing, it's the book itself that upset me. I'd recommend borowing it from a library and then deciding whether you want to buy it. Crikey! That's fierce isn't it?  |

The fact that it has upset you makes up my mind about it

Jules And you'd think I'd know how to spell borowing wouldn't you?

Oh dear me no FB, you should read it and decide for yourself, not just take my word... |

I've got bits of paper all over the place with beginnings. The trouble is I get sidetracked and end up in dead ends (bit like my driving really) I will probably one day. Possibly. When I get my memory back |

Don't leave it too late. Memories fade before we are ready to forget them, sometimes.

You could get an emenuensis to do it. We did that for my Grandad (not that you're that old).
Doing it as an interview can get a lot more out that you would imagine.

Ditto. I've just found my copy of NMSR and there are some pretty unpleasant remarks. Don't really see the need to republish it as it only came out 7 years ago. The first Fairport album remains a favourite of mine. I think it may even have been the first FC cd I bought. I'm sure if we drew up a list of overlooked albums it would be near the top. Some songs suit a more gentle vocal approach. Listen to a song like Decameron - beautiful. |

Except that it became impossible to find and those of us who hadn't read it couldn't get it. Jules |
