Not so sure about "Mariner" though. Any more info?. Will double check albums in case it's one I've forgotten about. If all else fails can check it out with Robert (Rab) himself. love, john. |

04 Jul 00 - 02:50 PM (#251764) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Rab Noakes songs From: Herma John, Thanks for your trouble so far! Second Mariner's song appears not to be a Rab Noakes song, but written by a P.Morgan. Do you know anything about him by chance?? Will wait for you to get in touch, there's no hurry !! Love, Herma |
