When we first began working on this we called it 'The Scottish Song' , it was sort of my guitar tribute to Fire Engines, Orange Juice, that type of thing.
The ghost of the original idea was retained in the title.
![Robert Ward's photos of Benny Profane recording our first studio session, pictured, Becky Stringer, Will Sergeant, Joe Mckechnie, that's me.
Still a 3 piece of Dave, Becky & I, so I asked Will to play some guitar, which he did, effortlessly, on four songs.
Here he is, playing his guitar backwards forwards sideways, & tooting on his harmonica.

We were sat on the path leading up to the then growing wild Palm House, different story now, neat & tidy.
This photo was used on an LP sleeve, which LP you ask, as is your right.

![I put some twang in the guitar when I came up with the initial idea for this one, had it in mind that we could try & get the finished version to Roy Orbison, see if he'd record it.
The timeline doesn't fit, unless we took a while to finish, then record it. Or maybe it was meant as a tribute to The Big O.
