Oh my God! What a treat for Christmas - please tell me the other two CDs are coming soon????
yes, they atea-comin'
and the booklet too
Thank you so-o-o-o-o-o much for this. I can't wait. bernie
Danny, you are a God amongst men! Happy Christmas and thanks again.
next in line Martin Carthy box set (wait some times, scanning such a big booklet is painful)
Sweet, merry x-mas indeed, bless you!
CS
Terrific! Thanks
Dominic
You are a HERO! This is the most exciting post on any blog this month!
It's blogs such as this that inspired me to start my own recently. Check it out if you like - http://grapewrath.blogspot.com/ So far just 2 posts there, but I'll be adding more soon.
Thanks again!
Many thanks for this
All good wishes for Xmas
Dubley
Danny, this is incredible. The link for the booklet has already been killed, but so far the ones for the CDs are working. THANK YOU!!
Buon Natale, Lisa H.
The booklet is no longer available from Rapidshare. If someone could provide another link for it, I'd be grateful.
thanks so much for these, i've had problems with part 2 of Disc 1, so an alternative link for it would be most appreciated.
thanks again & Happy New Year!
Hi Danny! I keep checking back for the Martin Carthy box set, ever since you mentioned it. And I haven't seen you on the Net in the past week or so--perhaps a well-deserved vacation? I am grateful for all your hard work, and hope you are in good health.
Best wishes, Lisa H.
Awesome...many thanks.
Sadly, as at today (7th Nov 2008), none of the links work. I love the popular folkies like Fairport & Pentangle, so was hoping to hear some Watersons, & this seems the best place to start. A repost would be very welcomed in light of all the positive comments above.
