Ah; now that is different. I don't think I sing it much like Sam Larner: it is ever my endeavour to sing every song like me, whomever I might have learnt it from. But one must always allow for the unconscious influence of intertextualty, must one not? And who can be accurate judge or critic of one's own efforts? But take my word for it, no mimicry was intended, of Sam or anyone else. It was put there at your request, Sean! There's gratitude for you. Glad it still goes down well with you.

One of my sponsors for membership of the Groucho did say at the time that I might very well be invited to do some sort of folk presentation or whatever; but I am still waiting.

Best
