It was instructive as I'd never heard before of, for example, Jesmond Deane. I was looking for my FINAL DEFINATIVE version, but it may have been a casulty of a recent computer melt-down. It seems this song was so unfinished lyrically that not even Jim Lawn would be able to make out some parts toward the end. Pass The Packet, indeed. The below is sort of what I remember. However... a note to Avalonian Yanks! Louis XIV are on the road again, New record to boot. NOT TO BE MISSED!!
