Keekee Brummet said...: Yeah - I met him too, a few years before that...he came to my college and sang William Blake songs (I write about that in September in my blog archives).

Yeah, he's not around, but we have lots of his books. Glad you found my blog, Niece-goddaughter--birthday-mate! /jb; 10/19/2005
