To Mr Mike Yates :
I didn't knew that you made contact with Sam, and I am grateful you did as I am grateful for your constructive and patient answer.

I understand that you felt Sam ' s approach as a lack of respect; I am personnally sure it was a respectful tribute or, even better, one more interpretation of these several times before interpreted songs.

Moreover, Under The Hills And Nearby gave me the chance to listen to these original recordings, which I am now very found of (even if I don't understand all the lyrics, but the musicality of the singing still "gets" me).

I understand -maybe too late - that these recordings were not meant to be dubbed instrumentally, but I can't prevent myself from liking the idea of using something in an unsual / creative way - and it is even better in this case because it doesn't destroy or alter in anyway the original (and fully described as)content - this is just to clarify the "damage caused" reproach of this dear (but a little too aggressive in my opinion) Mr Caroll.

Sam tried to contact the singers, or their heir and heiress, not knowing that the rights (of the recordings) were owned by the companies, as Mr Stradling patiently explained to me.

I hope the damage caused is now repaired; thank you for your patience and enlightenment (and sorry for my poor english).
