Brian McNeill's "The Busker" is by a very fine folk musician and the
title suggests it might be about what he knows best - I haven't got
round to reading it yet.

Further back in time, the relationship between Peter Milne and James
Scott Skinner might make a novel.  Sorta "Confessions of an English
Opium Eater" meets "Don Quixote".  Hmm.  Maybe I ought to write it.
