Jerry Goldsmith wrote the theme for the TV Waltons show (hope I've got that right)

Oh, genius, Mercs!

So is the song 'Blow the Wind Southerly' about a north or south facing wind?

Sorry; missed this. A "southerly" wind is one that blows from the South. The song's most famous interpreter () being ... ?

OK then, for us mere mortals, please may we have an Anna law compliant answer (and maybe some of the workings). I'm flabbergasted and flummoxed

Can I pass on that, and leave it to Ferney. I'm afraid I am not around for the remainder of the evening and must bid farewell. Thanks for the fun day.

Well, rubbers cut straight to the chase with Walton.
William Walton wrote a cantata In Honour of the City of London;

mercs noted that Jerry Goldsmith wrote the Theme to the TV series The Waltons; (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AXWdQNzSb4)

... and rubbers again got to Kathleen Ferrier (via Blow the Wind Southerly: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjvHg9cBriw ) who was born (100 years ago this coming Sunday) in the village of Higher Walton, nr Blackburn, Lancs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higher_...mous_residents) - 'tho' her ancestors originated in Pembrokeshire; hence the Musical talent!

I hope mercs won't mind the next Rubber being rubber's?

Good night, rubbers. Good night, John boy. Good night, Lou. Good night, sweet ladies. Good night, good night.

Mercs; would you mind taking the next, whilst we let rubbers enjoy his evening's gallavantings?

Ho thanks mercia...! When I last looked, rubbers had swanned off having got the next letter, thought we'd be waiting indefinitely...
