Hi Dave,

Was Martin Carthy or any other musicians involved?
Can you remember the tunes? When is the book due?
It 's going to be  a classic!

Hey we might not be any more reliable!

One thing I know works for me - go back to any given year, and look what records were out and pretty soon the memories start falling into chronological order.

But that only works up to about 1991 for me.  My finger slipped off the pulse after that!

Hi Swarb,

Can't wait for the book. How did you get into acting? Was that something you always wanted to do?

Thanks,


Pat

Just read that you followed Dick Barton on another thread!
Sounds the basis of a good career.
(Julie Christie missed out on the Oscar as well)

Well this year the Writers' Strike was in the background but I take your point re: film & TV.
You reckon music as well?
