Powrie emigrated to Australia twice, once in the 1960s and once, I think, in the late 1980s. This was recorded while he was back on home soil in Strathearn, Perthshire, in his farmhouse with his old musical partners Jimmy Blue and Mickie Ainsworth on accordions, and Dave Barclay on bass.

  3. and Ailsa,

    thank you so much for the youtube link... not just your dad but the caterpillar again :)

  4. Thanks, Nigel, for all the great posts.
    BTW, I sent you a couple of folders, but am not sure they reached you or if the email address I have is still in use. If not, send your new address to me (lonesomelefty@yahoo.ca) and I'll resend them.
