Don't be quick to dismiss Ralph McTell. For every three 'Streets of
London' he played the odd instrumental with some fine finger picking
guitar. I seem to remember he played Blind Blake's Rag on a Peel in
Concert, but I maybe wrong. Give it a listen, Peel played some
excellent US finger pickers in his time (Stefan Grossman, Leon Redbone
and John Fahey) and in his hey day Ralph McTell was a pretty good home
grown version.

"Tonight's In Concert features.... America and Ralph McTell says our John.
"Oh fer "Christ's sake" says me.
Well I guess some may like him/them but it's that inverse square law of
taste-money again for me.
I will post the show of course...
