Bananas in Pyjamas the song pre-dates the TV show by many years. A few years back a friend was vainly trying to teach me to play the piano. She was using the childrens song books she'd learned from herself, which were at least twenty years old, probably older. I got as far as 'She'll be Coming Round the Mountain' before deciding that I'd never be a concert pianist, but on the way I did learn to play Bananas in Pyjamas. 2. Copyright stuff. No-one has yet pointed out the obvious fact that if we manage to contact the photographer in question then he/she is highly likely to have retained the negative, and will probably prepare us a new print for an appropriate fee - a fee which could include some re-imbursement for a license to use it on the T-Shirt. I'm just guessing, but I would think that the pic arises from the same photo-shoot that produced the GAOW cover and back-cover shot. I don't have the GAOW with me, but I guess there's a photographer's name on the credits somewhere? Lem. ------------------------------ End of alloy-digest V2 #169 ***************************
