Me profile on here http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/user/506 sez this:
"Though I'd been interested in both for a long while, I finally got into stones & Cope relatively late in life and at around the same time (mid 90s). I guess my girlfriend at the time has to take the blame. She bought me 'Peggy Suicide' and she used to get those nice megalithic postcards from Mr Julian."
But actually, I think reading 'Head On' had a lot to do with it.... (Copewise rather than Stoneswise.)
