You can download today's program from here. (Right click and press "Save As"/"Save Target As"/"Save Link As") The bit with Swarb starts at about 25:45. |

I got his signed obit from Cropredy that year. He was selling his signature as part of Swarbaid and calling his wares: "roll up, view the only animated corpse" . I shall never forget that, the only time I've spoken to him so far.  |

He did a gig in St Neots on the day his obituary was published. He went up to my friends mum and said 'aparently, I'm dead!'.

Legend. No other word. Legend. Could listen to him all day. God bless his bow and rosin. And fiddle. (Actually God probably already has.)

Or in Swarb's case (and a few others!) accidentally before you've died Curses GF you beat me by a whisker... |

Sorry Jude!  And if you are lucky Dennis, they say Really Nice Things about you. As in the case of dear Swarb who was alive all the time and lucky enough to read what people said.  |

Well, I don't know about that, but it is gratifying that TAW satisfies some educational needs. |
