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...
