Many years ago I sang a song I had written in the Middle Bar at Sidmouth. When I had wheezed my way through it someone said to me that he thought he had read all of Burns' poems but had not come across that one before. I had to tell him that it was not by Burns but mine own. Needless to say I was inwardly glowing at the thought of being compared with the great man. Never happened before or since of course.

I often have random thoughts that I think would make a good song, unfortunately 99.99% remain that way.
