According to Fred. But then there are others who said that Billy would hide in the woods when he knew Fred was coming (this has been said of several of Billy's potential visitors). The stories about Billy vary according to who was speaking - the truth, if there is such a thing, will probably never be known. But they're good stories. > ''Raindrops'' but to me it sounded > like Bill Charlton's Fancy? BC Fancy was inspired by a passing brass band which Bill remarked on , and Billy obliged with the tune.
