Shirley Collins >BBC Desert Island Discs

[Michael Messer]

This is excellent and if you don't know who Shirley Collins is, you should! Among many other things, Shirley was present when Alan Lomax discovered and recorded Mississippi Fred McDowell.

An interesting lady and a lovely selection of music some of which brought back memories of my early school days.

Little Sheila Smith's "Father, Dear Father.." was wonderful - I'd never heard it before.

I must be turning into a sentimental old git.

Listened to it last Sunday. What a life story
