[78-L] Paul Francis Webster

[Taylor Bowie]

I wanted to point out that two of the tunes on Ray's lists have lyrics by 
the very poetic Mr. Webster,  who was also a rare book collector of note. 
Among the many prizes in his collection were copies of each of the four 
Shakespeare Folios.  He was a very classy guy.
