Geoff, there's a point where you have to remember it's a song and not a historical document. Songwriters (and indeed historians) have always played fast and loose with facts. I can't remember when John gave it to me but it's typed rather than from a word processor so certainly more than ten years ago. Having just conducted his funeral two weeks ago I'm content to put his work where it will be noticed and remembered. BTW there's another San Vincente just south of Alicante. I've driven past it and I'm pretty sure John will have on his several sojourns around the back roads of Spain. T.
