Now why does the name "william Appleyard" come to mind with all this.
I remember singing "My Love's an Arfbutus by the borders of Lein" without having a clue what it was all about. It must have had some effect on me as I've been singing Folk Song ever since!
I also remember in the far off days listening to "Music and Movement" (on the Home Service??) and running around being leaves...or staing still and being a tree shaking in the wind.

Happy Days.
