My favourite song is probably Yarmouth Castle. I recall my father having the 'Sunday Concert' album, which was one of the few records we had around the house up in McKenzie in the early 70s. When I was young, I remember laying by the record player listening to this record. My father still has it, it is such a thick piece of plastic, much more so that LPs that came out later in the decade. I still remember all the words to the song, my favourites being 'Oh Lord she groans I'm burning, let someone understand, but her silent plea is wasted in the playing of the band'. As I have aged, I have other special songs, but this initial exposure remains my favourite.
