Susanne, the reason I signed myself out was I found that in a particular thread I was being expected to answer questions about my political and social stance to a level that felt inappropriate, and rather than get shirty I left. The All The Tunes In The World air is an amended version of The South Wind - key difference is that the original has more notes at the end of each line, and in some phrases. The song was written for Jim Daily, who would not stop playing tunes at closing time - when at last he did he would start to 'diddle' the tunes to me, while the publican told me to stop him! The publican could tell that there was no use him trying to talk sense to a fiddle player, but I play guitar so am clearly more sensible. My lyric as given above, except that I wrote and sing 'playtime is done', not 'o'er', which was Janet Russell's amendation in her wonderful recording of the song. By the way, the 'gantry' is the frame behiond the bar where the bottles and glasses hang. Best regards. Ewan
