Drink has been taken, and it's nearly time for the final episode of Deutschland 89. Sting with Englishman in New York. I no longer care....

May the lord have mercy on my soul. Roger Miller - England Swings.
Jeez, there was some talent on display. And I don't mean Roger Miller.

"England my country, the home of the free
Such miserable weather
But England's as happy as England can be
Why cry?"

Sorry for drifting off for a while. @The Crofted Crest reminded me to revisit my vinyl, specifically Bullinamingvase.
England in a nutshell. Watford Gap, plate of grease and a load of crap. Roy Harper had it right, though he should have stayed in Folkingham when he had the chance.

During an all too rare moment of lucidity, my mind drifted back to long ago Sunday mornings spent listening to almost forgotten recordings.
One of those was the traditional playing of Sir Henry at Rawlinson End. The interval was my prompt to replenish the toast rack and seek out a treasured jar of grandad's horseradish marmalade, to play a jolly prank on next door's cat. I couldn't find the exact track I intended, but this one's an unexpected bonus. Forward to approximately five of our English minutes for a rendition of "How nice to be in England".
