Hi, Dita, I do not know how often Mike or Tony turn up here. Mike combined bits from different sources to put the song together. He haunts used bookstores and finds amazing bits. I will e-mail him and ask him to pass us on more information.
I thought Pittenweem a great village when I visited there in 2000. I wound up down on the docks taking pictures of the white houses trailing redroofed up the hills, and the ships at the pier, and there was a lovely older gentleman there. We fell into conversation, which he punctuated frequently by whacking his rolled newspaper lightly against my arm. He had a great face and I asked if he would allow me to take a shot. He complied (whack) quite agreeably. I asked if, after I returned home (to U.S.) I could send him prints of himself and his village. He said he would (whack) like that. I asked where I should send them, and he pointed up the curving street and (whack) said, "Right up there, take the second left."
