OMG I was only joking when I mentioned that this week we could expect to be told that “Lord Franklin” was the influence for Bob Dylan and “Bob Dylan’s Dream” but catching up with the programme a few minutes ago (I was late home yesterday following Forest’s demolition job on Leeds Utd.) and there it was!!
I hardly dare suggest that when we come to cover Ireland that “One Morning in May” and “Homes of Donegal” will be cited as the trigger for “With God on Our Side” and “I Pity the Poor Immigrant” respectively. Sorry I don’t know too many folk songs from Wales to try a punt for next week.
