Subject: RE: Music in the Mountains Top of Coom
Hi Malc

Looking forward to seeing you at the weekend, as for the song, we have asked some neighbours for details of when it was written etc. I believe the song was written very locally to where we now live, and apparently the man who wrote it didn't travel, so it was all imagination. As for the last verse, all I can say is that when it's sung in a packed bar at the top of coom, the roof nearly lifts off the place, and I'm sure we will hear it once or twice over the festival weekend.
