Subject: RE: Origins: the sick note/ murphy and the bricks
I'm happy to report that Radio NZ play Hoffnung's recitation a couple of times a year still. Pat Cooksey and I were flatmates when he wrote his song, and I still remember it hitting the Coventry scene. Pat always has given Hoffnung as his primary, but not only, source of inspiration, but the recitation and the song are very different, and both great.
