Bring back the press for Hopera singers. That's the ticket. Board and front
them. 'splain they're now in the navy. What?
I was listening to Max Boyce, "Live at Treorchy" yesterday evening. It wears
well. Wikipedia tells me that they couldn't sell enough tickets at fifty pence
each, so they had to let everyone in for free.
Seems to me that I heard about him at about the time of this recording. I
wonder how or where. I know I didn't see him live. I'm thinking maybe a folk
singer who had heard him sang "Hymns and Arias" on a visit to Atlantic College.
A while back, that.
