I happen to remember doing that quite a lot when I was in my early years!<br />Also, I did not know that this guy wrote "The Ballad of Lucy Jordan". There was me thinking it was all Marianne Faithful's own work.<br />Thanks for the enlightenment, bazza.<br />Keep on keepin' on,<br />David.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08115443256449529220noreply@blogger.com
