Nice one, Richard. I saw YT in concert at MSG many years ago.

I have a cassette tape of their first LP with 'The Innocent Hare', and 'The Knight and the Shepherd's Daughter', as two of the tracks.

Peter Bellamy sang as narrator on this ; Royston Wood as the 'knight'.

Heather Woods's comment was 'that left me with being either the kinght's horse or the Shepherd's Daughter'.

To which Royston Wood replied 'no problem - they both get ridden'.

Damned if I ever learned the title of the LP. Is there any of their work available on CD, do you know ?

(I financed some of the fees for my LLM out of gig fees in the days before John Barleycorn got to me.)

De mortuis nisi bonum, pissed or sober.

I repeat - I have seen Alex in top form, and I have seen him in appalling form. Hwyl, Bryn
