Walter McCorrisken: The Greatest 'World's Worst Poet'

[awnok]

Dang it! It gets to 4:00 and stops. Just refuses to move on. Don't know if it's a `tube` problem.

Is Walter still alive?

[mrjonthehat]

I believe he passed away in 2004 - I've been told that he appeared on the 'Parkinson' TV show in 1979 - I'd love to see that clip on youtube - Wonder if anyone has it...

mrjonthehat - do you have any more from the same night's recital? I'd love to see it. I never met Walter, but am friends with his son, have been for thirty-odd years.

[mrjonthehat]

I would gladly copy the entire recital to DVD for you, if you send me a message (rather than a 'comment' with a postal address (I think you can do this through youtube if you log-in and send it to my 'in-box' like an e-mail - that way, nobody else will see it.) - I had thought about posting more McCorrisken clips on youtube, but I haven't got round to it yet!

[properjob]

Thanks for that kind offer. I have sent you a message through YouTube.

[mrjonthehat]

I sent Walter a video of his complete recital at the time, and he posted a book back, signed "Til the coos run dry !"

There's not much in this world that makes me laugh as much as I did that day. I'm glad that this clip was worth sharing d:oD
