I, John Morris, am a sailor and sometimes folk singer/shantyman living in northern Illinois, USA. My wife found your stuff through wandering aimlessly around BBC.
ReplyDeleteI have a small ragbag of Scots stuff I do for Burns Nicht and whenever somebody lets me. Included is a Willie Kemp songbook of bothy ballads, etc, that my son brought me from Edinburgh while he was there several years ago. I would like to purchase a copy of the Doric dictionary that was mentioned in the BBC article. Can you please direct me to the right e-mail address?
I look forward to building a stronger relationship with you and the "Hielands" Thank you.
