Subject: RE: Maddy Prior review - and free, signed CD
The people at Park Records tell me the albums are on their way to winners of my little competition.

I promised to declare a consolation winner, chosen at random from the remaining entries, of an unsigned copy of Maddy's album,
and that is someone identifying himself as DG&D Dave.

Mudcat was the source, directly or not, of most replies, but not this one. It brought a smile to my face so I share it with the bigger audience:

"Way back in the Mid-Eighties, I was lucky enough to get tickets to Maddy's solo "Woman in the Wings" tour, at Derby assembly rooms. After the concert a friend of mine wanted to get their album signed, so I went along with them. Imagine my surprise when Maddy beckoned me over to join her. However, the reason was that she had no table on which to sign autographs and, being over 6 feet tall, my back made an ideal lecturn."
