| Taylor, Fred J - Anecdotes for RecollectionsFred J Taylor and Fred Buller were recorded for the production of Recollections, the first of a series of books for Angling Heritage. After the recording, Fred J remembered some more tales that he would like included. Because the sound quality was that of his home tape recorder, this wasn’t added onto the CD’s included in the book, although the tales were included in the text. We thought you would like to hear Fred J telling his lovely stories. (2007) |
