message from hildebrand to rigoni:
Dear Lieutenant Rigoni, or may i call you Tony, it's a big thrill to hear from you, and to know youre happily settled in the other world. i've always been deeply grateful to you for providing the material that led to my only furtive brush with the big time.
i sure wish i could hear presley page rosemary & thieme doing that song. surely there is a pirate recording somewhere that will be discovered before i go to join you.
all the best, mate. if yr ever in australia, drop in for a beer (but be sure you have a warrant) --hildebrand (the fuller brush man)
