Mary Anne Alburger is working on a PhD about J.F. Dickie (or maybe has already finished it). So there should be at least a full discography at the end of that. Dickie was one of the musicians from the past it would have been most interesting to have on the net (like Peter Milne with his crossposts to alt.drugs.hard, Skinner probably spamming the whole of Usenet with every new tune because genius does what it must, and William Marshall, webmaster to the Duke of Gordon, whose meticulously coded site would be googled the world over for its resources on sundial mathematics, falconry, amateur track-and-field and clock repair). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jack Campin: 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU; 0131 6604760 <http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack> * food intolerance data & recipes, Mac logic fonts, Scots traditional music files, and my CD-ROM "Embro, Embro".
