    Anyway, I have a Y which PDG will love!!!


    "Ye shepherds of this pleasant vale" WoO 156 No. 4 (12 Scottish Songs)

    Oops! Should I have waited for Sorrano's X? Apologies if I have jumped the gun but I couldn't resist, knowing how much PDG loves the folksong settings.

      Because of Andy Murray's fantastic achievement in New York last night, I now consider myself sort-of half-Scottish, so will try and love these folk-songs one more time, Michael.

      Mother, where's my kilt??!!
