    Many decades ago Ravi Shankar and George Harrison wrote a tune that I fell in love with from the moment I first heard it. I have no idea if this tune was ever popular in the UK but it was a big hit where I come from.
    Enjoy the sitar play.

    I just caught that Delius documentary, Barry, and it was fascinating. Wasn't Thomas Beecham a character?!
