Much impressed by Brian's last post. Reminded by it of something from my pre-WW2 childhood, about 1937 when I would have been 5. We had the painters in for a few days; and one of them while at work incessantly sang The Skye Boat Song, which I thought beautiful. Have always wondered why, and whether such a thing would happen today. (Just an anecdote, but felt faintly relevant.)
