“Could it have come from a line in the Tennessee Williams play, ‘The Glass Menagerie’? One of the 4 main characters Tom is known to his friend Jim as Shakespeare, because he wrote poetry in breaks at work. In one scene Jim refers to Tom’s sister as, “Shakespeare’s Sister”.”

“Hi Dave. Sorry for not getting back sooner. The site didn’t send me an email when you replied. Yes I’ll make a digital copy. Is it better to put it on a disc or to send the mp3s as an email attachment? There won’t be any cost. I’ve still got a stack of recordable discs that I haven’t used for years.”

“Yes I remember trying to arrange the interview through Savoy but it wasn't easy to get in touch with them. Or maybe it was Proby who was difficult to get in touch with. In the end I learnt that he was living in New Mills which is only a few miles from me. He soon left there but the lady he had been staying with gave me Jack Venet's number, who set things up.”
