Howzat (or rather a 10-second snatch of it) is enjoying a predictable renaissance thanks to the arrival of 20-20 Cricket ( a new, shortened and showbizzed version of the game) where it is played whenever a wicket falls. A rapid Google reveals the following Staland Vocal Band Factoid with which you can dazzle your acquaintances at the sophisticated dinner parties I know you all attend... >>"Afternoon Delight" was so enormously popular that the group even landed their own short-lived CBS variety series The Starland Vocal Band Show, which featured a then-unknown David Letterman. << And two of them wrote Take me home, country roads.
