Much obliged! Been a fan of the great man since my teens through my father's recommendation, and have never looked back. Recently went to the tribute in Eastwood Park Theatre and had a ball. Although I have 2 CDs and the book, I was delighted to hear wee ditties such as Toni Capaldi and Granda He Fell off the Verandah, which, like this, I was entirely ignorant of. The man represented a generosity that we seem to be dissuaged from nowadays. Thanks a bunch for this tubesnake!
