There's Folks and Then There's.....

| Rev. Sabine Baring - Gould 1834 - 1924 |
Well, then there's this, not just folk or the folk, but odds and ends from all over, to make up a compendium, a patchwork
quilt, of doings related, of course, to England. A number of the links do appear elsewhere, on other of our websites, and
we hope that in sampling them here, you'll want to go and see what those afore mentioned sites are all about. People, places,
buildings, historical societies, history itself, time and place, that theme that runs constantly through our websites, and
of course, the pictures, they're part of it too, and they also, in most cases, provide links and signposts, pointing, you,
the vistor in a certain direction, hopefull an enjoyable and instructive one, for after all, that's what this is really all
about, that none stop quest for learning and knowledge, most if not all of it, related to the past, or as the title of that
wonderful Albion Band album puts it, and as we've put it, elsewhere, Before Us Stands Yesterday. A classic example of the
variety of places we visit is to be found just below this text, see it, there? 45rpm. It's an incredible website all about
...well all about 45's, and the artists that recorded them, plus a history of the 45, plus singers biographies, and something
called Obscure Artists Discographies, there's alot to see there, we know, we've been to the site many times. To start
you off, we're giving you a sampling of what you'll find at 45rpm.
Oh look! Here comes the local bus, and well, you know what that means, it's time we were off again..................
