2 things to tell you

1) Bob Deckman Nelson got in contact and he's interested in usin my setting of the LJS poem on an an album to raisemoney for musical instruments that were lost in the floods in New Orleans in the schools . I haven't heard from Bob for a while - so I don't know if its still on. but I got the clearance to use my recording for this from the John masefield estate.

2) I caught up with Birmingham Rep version of Treasure island in Nottingham last week and there is a tear your heart out version of Lowlands away in there - fabulous stuff!
