The core of the papers relates to the research project Walsh was engaged in for a study of British University Expansion between 1955 and 1968 (boxes 1-4). The project was funded by the Nuffield Foundation. There are transcripts and tape recordings of interviews with a number of leading academic and administrative personalities of the time. Relating to this work, the collection includes correspondence and material of W. G. V. Balchin regarding the new universities that were founded in 1940-1960 (boxes 5-6). There is also material relating to Walsh's unpublished autobiography, including diaries and journals (box 7).
"The editors have gathered an impressive array of texts, drawn from sermons, letter, poems, theological treatises, dealing with the theological, spiritual and human dimensions of suffering. . . . I read the book with great interest, and others will, I am certain, find in it many rewarding passages that speak directly and profoundly to the trials of human life." - Robert L. Wilken, Religious Studies Review
An in-depth look at Minneapolis rock musician James Walsh and the band Gypsy, considered the best 1960s rock band to come out of Minnesota. The book traces Walsh's life from playing in a polka band when he was 13 to joining Minneapolis bands Coronados and Hot Half Dozen and finally the Underbeats. The Underbeats traveled to Los Angeles, chasing their dream of a recording contract and rock and roll stardom. Gypsy became the house band at the famous Whisky a Go Go, recorded four albums, and then broke up in 1974. Walsh and Gypsy still play gigs in Minnesota and St. Louis.
