Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Fishing Days (Campbell Gunn)
Over a year after posting some incorrect lyrics and being corrected by the song's composer I offer my belated apologies for doing so.

I am very happy to now have the correct version.

When composers take a considerable time to get their lyrics right it must be very annoying to have oiks like me come along and incorrectly transcribe them. Though the words can be clearly heard on the recordings I have, Stephen Quigg's diction is excellent, the lines I got wrong just didn't make any sense to me. They do now. I was always a lover of the old vinyl lp which often included extensive sleeve notes, lyrics and words of explanation. Nowadays there are eithe no sleeve notes with downloads or you need a magnifying glass with CD booklets.
