What did you think of it ........and we already have a thread......

Sorry...didm't spot the thread. Mixed feelings about prog. The play made Barry out to be 'the lovable rogue' and Joyce to be a bit of an old trout. It's a good topic for a play, I suppose, but the truth of the relationship will never be known. I did feel slightly uneasy knowing that Barry is still alive. From the dramatic point of view, I thought the old J and B were better portrayed than the young.

PS Can't find the main thraad...can you direct me?

Thanks, ag. First time I've looked at the GA forum. Naughty me. The discussion there seems to have gone a bit off topic, but there was a lovely insight upthread into the recording lark by Hornspieler.
