Thanks for the plug Les. The song you mention is called 'Someone Upstairs' and it's on the Silverlode album, Lizzie.

I don't sing it much these days - a lump jumps into my throat in the intro and then I can't reach the top notes!

John Waller, who's chief booker at the Topic folk club, has a haunting song called Liberator in which the ghost of an airman meets the girl who pulled him from the wreck, and who he would have married if he'd lived (I may have got that slightly wrong - must dig out the album).
