"'True Love Knows no Season' written by Norman Blake (or was it Tony Rice?) and recorded by Planxty."

The title is "Billy Gray," dammit!

It's Norman's song, so Norman can damn well decide what the title is. Planxty are either crooked or don't know enough to get out of their own way!

And Tony Rice could no more have written that song than I could play one of his guitar solos!

There are people who can play guitar as good as Norman and there are people who can write as good songs as Norman but there is no one who can play guitar as good as Norman and write as good a song as Norman and that's all there is to it.

I have spoken.

Now please try not to get me upset again today. It's bad for me to get worked up at my age.

Peter.
