Managed to give it an airing at Clynnog-Fawr this weekend (2nd time - Marsdens Pedigree took control at the first attempt...) Anyhow - encountered a wonderful Mondegreen which could well be kept in for posterity (or posterior. Never sure) Who's the king of the fighting ducks...? People must think that this 'ere folk music is quackers. Cheers Dave the Gnome |
