Having relatively recently 'discovered' folk singing in 1997, I spend much of my spare time on the fringe at folk festivals and supporting local clubs, intent on encouraging others, listening and collecting songs. 
As organiser of MudGathers at various UK Folk Festivals, I'm known as 'my guru always said' on the Mudcat Music Discussion Forum
'My Guru Always Said' comes from an old scratchy 45 of mine. It was written by G Taylor & Hugh Murphy and was sung by Joanna Carlin aka Melanie Harrold / Irma Cetes. I understand it was banned in the UK by the BBC two weeks after it was released here in 1977. I could be wrong though...
