Sandy was a wonderful friend and mentor.  John Gilks, who lived in Miramichi, New Brunswick, also sang "The City of Baltimore" at the first Miramichi Folksong Festival in 1958, and he sang it for me in the late 1990's, shortly before his his death.

Sandy and I did some fieldwork together, and he once said to me, "I leave The Northeast in good hands."  That was extremely touching.

Some 400 hours of my own recordings in New Brunswick are now housed in the Canadian Museum of Civilisation in Ottawa, for a few of which he was present.

I will miss Sandy.  I knew Sandy Paton and Mike Seeger, too.  Those few weeks in late July and early August were hard, indeed.

Peace.

Hi folks,
 
First of all, thanks to everyone who answered my recent query about whether they were having difficulties receiving Worlds of Trad. Also, apologies for not replying individually, but I was deluged with replies from good folks who took the trouble to check it out. The vast majority said they'd had no problems whatsoever. Moreover, Live365 now appear to have fixed the problem. But if there's anybody who still can't hear the station, the easiest solution is probably to contact the Live365 helpdesk at http://www.live365.com/help/ticket.live .
 
Anyway, the latest edition of Worlds of Trad Internet radio has now been tried, tested and  fired into orbit. You can pick it up by going straight to the station player at 
 
http://www.live365.com/cgi-bin/mini.cgi?station_name=oneworldmusic&tm=7011 . 
 
Alternatively, you can do it by first bringing up the station page. Click on http://www.live365.com/stations/oneworldmusic . Then click the yellow PLAY button. Then, if you press the green button to the right, you can set Worlds of Trad as a preset. That will save you having to search the next time you listen in.
 
In this month's show we say a fond farewell to Sandy Paton, Sandy Ives, Mike Seeger, Jerry Holland and Stanley Robertson, all of whom have sadly joined the celestial choir over the past month or so. In between we take another sample from that dazzling collection of Irish music, The Leitrim Equation; Sonny Terry, Bascom Lunsford and Louis Armstrong keep us updated on the hunt for Lost John; Sam Larner gives us a crash course on the Napoleonic wars, while Bruce Molsky beats a hasty retreat; Cecil Pearl, Dolly Curtis, The Balfa Brothers and Ampron Prunni bring us some English, Cajun and Finnish sounds on the squeezebox; Furry Lewis shows up with his very own take on the story of Casey Jones; we meet the youngest Cape Breton band in history; and Snooks Eaglin leads off a whole mess of street songs from all over. Oh, and there's the most barnstorming version of St. Louis Blues I heard in all my life.
 
All that and much, much more. 
 
Many happy whatnots,
 
Fred McCormick.
