Hi all, Not sure if these are roundly familiar or not, but I noticed this on boingboing: A collection of local dialogues and regional voices from the past, recorded by George Ewart Evans. This one was highlighted in particular: "interview with unidentified borstal inmate used in preparing the book 'Horse power and magic' (London, 1979).". No mention of anything magicesque in the interview, but I'm wondering what else might be in the collection, based on its description: "250 recordings of interviews and songs made by oral history pioneer George Ewart Evans between 1956 and 1977, many in Suffolk, with a smaller number in Wales, Ireland and Scotland. The recordings document rural life and agricultural work in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, folk beliefs about animals, medicine and witchcraft, folk and popular songs" http://sounds.bl.uk/View.aspx?item=021M-T3091WXXXXXX-0200V0.xml Thanks Ben
