  1. Thank you so much for these! I have two very old, very stretched-out cassettes that I've been trying to replace with a CD for years.

  6. + he plays a beautiful, 'rustic' harp! what a gifted guy, learned that thing in midlife.
    a sagittarian-- like twain, beethoven, k richards, jimi, schwaller de lubicz, scarlett johannson and woody allen, dan hicks [see the humour thread?] to name a few

  8. "The Lad with the Goatskin" made me weep hot salty tears of laughter when last I saw RW in concert, great to be able to hear it again!

  9. I can't get in touch with the Robin Williamson files. Could you repost them with rapidshare maybe.
    I like this man and have a lot of his official material. Thanks

  14. Hi, I have been searching sporadically for these for years but it looks like I found this too late. Rapidshare is no longer and these stories can't be downloaded anymore. Is there any chance you could put them somewhere where I could get them, or send them to me?
