Jack Armstrong/G.G. Armstrongs manuscripts

[adrian]

I have both of these photo-copies. Anyone want one or both?

[Dally]

Hello Adrian,
Can you tell us what's in them? IIRC, Pauline Cato was studying G.G. Armstrong's mss? I have Jack Armstrong's book, but don't use it very much.
thanks
John

The J.A. manuscript is not that book of his comp, it's a collection of tunes by Jack.
The other is a collection of tunes from John Dagg Davidson (Kielder Jock?) , handed down to him from Stuart davidson-his uncle.
Barry? Still interested?

[Barry Say]

Yes, if there are more copies these things stand more chance of surviving and being available.

Jack's is easy to scan, Jock's is a little longer!

The Jock Davidson original is still in private hands, I believe, but a good copy is available at the Chantry (if that's incorrect, then the original is at the Chantry - can't think straight ATM). But as Barry says, the more copies the better - cloud storage!
The NPS appears to have a photocopy of some Jack Armstrong MSS (now at Beamish), the copy dated 1984. Is that the one? I found it in the Forster Charlton collection, which we are starting to sort through.
The other Armstrong family MS I know about is in private hands, though I have an index of the tunes in it.

It is defs Jacks collection (Not copyrighted)- can't remember where I got this copy from.

Barry,
If Adrian uploaded them, could copies be hosted on this site?
I'd be particularly interested in anything from GG.

I'd be interested in both getting a look at both ..

The problem is the depth of scan (megabytes) uploads to this site. My photo's of yon's pipes (it's a him) in my post earlier, was hard to shrink-down
