Subject: RE: 'Brownie' McNeil - Norman Laird McNeil From: 12-stringer Date: 23 Jun 13 - 05:36 PM Undoubtedly you've already seen this, but there is a bio sketch on pp 152-154 of Ray M Lawless, Folksingers and Folksongs in America (NY: Duell, Sloan & Pearce, 1960, 1965). I think pagination is the same in both editions but only have the 2nd, 1965, at hand right now. |
