Subject: RE: BBC Radio Lincolnshire Folk Song Comp
This is my song. It was called Skegness and that's what its about. It didn't get anywhere and my wife reckons its not all that good ('not one of your better songs'). But it says some of the things I feel - a certain tenderness towards a brash seaside resort. http://www.bigalwhittle.co.uk/id23.html
Rik Palieri one of the judges came up to me afterwards and was very kind and conciliatory - saying perhaps it needed a little work - it sounded like two songs to him. I have a suspicion - neither of them would have been one of my better songs!
