by heaven - we are a shallow lot - mere pleasure seekers. Nobody want to die gloriously, serve your country or promote the selfless following of an idyllic but platonic and doomed love ?? Where are you Anji when we need you  ?? |

Here I am.  I'll be the girl on the shore looking riverwards at her owntruelove's mighty dredger. It's a great song, full of derringdo, more true love, alluvial deposits, and saucy eyebrows. And no uncomfortable love-positions  I'm on verse three....I'll have it finished by the weekend  You're welcome to contribute to the chorus. |

Issy Thanks Issy Steve's original version of Slipjigs and Reels would be on my desert island list and is a very severe test for any guitarist. I know - I've tried! His latest album, Of Many Hands, his interpretations of British and American traditional songs, is brilliant, and his slowed down version of the Leaving of Liverpool will melt your heart. David |

Obviously, 'Michael' from Dangerous could have been written about me but I'm also a bit of a tinkerer so I think I'll be Mr Lacey.

I suppose I could be Tam Lin with my borders ancestry...... Or Sir Patrick Spens, given my Fife ancestry...... Disappear in a faery hill or sink a ship, it isn't a great choice. Or I could stick with Crazy man Michael. |

I suppose I could be Tam Lin In that case, I shall be the Fairy Queen. (I thought you'd never ask, David). I fancy the idea of keeping a young man shackled for seven years - so what if he looks like a goblin? Not you, David - the enchanted Tam Lin, I mean. At the point where he becomes a naked knight, I might have to wrap Janet's kirtle green around her neck though.  Time for my medication. Coming, Matron. Karen |
