Amen :)

Anyway as an aside, it's on recently hearing Ewan's rendering of Thomas that decided me on learning it myself (though Id always been curious, previously I'd only heard Steeleye's "version" which makes no sense whatsoever to me).

I thought I was doing OK tonight - I explained to my partner prior to starting to sing that "it's a story in verse form" - but I think he dozed off half-way through.
No doubt got a few years to go before I am err 'captivating' with those lengthy Ballads!
Mind you, he hates me singing anyway, so I could always blame it on him! :)

Love Thomas to sing though, so engaging!
