I once went to see Vin Garbutt , who explained how to write a song...you either come up with a tune and then write the words to fit the tune or write the words and then... come up with the tune...now then,He then went on to explain that He preferred to pick a well known song and write his words to it and then change the tune accordingly So He wrote his song to the tune of 'Jesu Joy Of Mans Desiring' which I'm sure you'll agree is a beautiful piece of work and which as He stated could not be bettered.. However not only was it a lovely tune it is very hard to play and sing at the same time so he had to sing the song unaccompanied ,which I may add he did very well.

Almost holistic in fact...although I was drinking 'the brown dog' that night if my memory serves me well.

love and happiness
