You'll find that at the foot of every posting I've made here as part of my signature box. I got boogie, boogie, in my socks

So is that a line from a Jake Thackray song or your own particular signature quote? Is ScarTam also you?

Quite interesting what you say about the BBC4 production on JT. Have you been involved in the filming so far?

I loved JT's wry songs and wit. I'm not an obsessive fan, but think he deserves a celebration of his life's work to be seen on TV.

Shame there is no one else currently in the UK like him on the music scene, although I see there is a guy touring round singing his songs. Just listening to Folkwaves on Radio Derby and they announces some tour dates.

 Re:victor lewis-smith's forthcoming BBC4 programme - 2005/10/18 09:35 Just to save you any confusion, Susan: no, ScarTam and Aliasmacalias are not one and the same. Only one quarter of me is Scottish - I think old Alias would claim to be more thoroughbred. And yes, I have been working on the Victor Lewis-Smith programme as Programme Consultant. Incidentally, if anyone has been to a show by this chap who is going around singing Jake's songs (Michael Wilson, perhaps?), it would be interesting if you could post an opinion. And while we're at it, has anyone seen Hilary James and Simon Mayor's Jake show? What's that like?

 Re:victor lewis-smith's forthcoming BBC4 programme - 2005/10/18 16:43 Aliasmacalias is me, Ian Burdon; Scar Tam is Ian Watson. I am not even 1/4 Scottish, being from Derby, but I have lived in Scotland since 1969

The sig quote is not from Thackray but has been with me for a long time and is now a habit. Aliasmacalias dates from early in my internet usage when I used multiple pseudonyms for reasons which I can't entirely remember but which seemed like a good idea at the time. It is by way of an oblique tribute to the late Hamish Henderson (Google him). I got boogie, boogie, in my socks

I don't need to google Hamish Henderson, as I know of him from the past in the folk world.

So you are from Derby, where I now live near to, and I saw Jake Thrackray in Matlock some years ago.

funny old small world!
