:) For -L-2 you'd get other frustrated would-be-shower takers ganging up on you - there was only one men's shower! The 50p shower time gave the start, the 250 yards back to the tent gave thinking time for what followed. R [1]malcra...@aol.com wrote: For a -L-1.00 do you get a B part?

Richard, in my experience, every place is a good place for a new melody to come up. BTW the worst place (and the most frequent) is the bed during the REM phase... I have to immediately stand up and write down the melody otherwise, the day after, I'll forget it.

I'm impressed that you find you can write decent tunes in your sleep, Valerio - I recently woke up from a dream with a world-beatingly fantastic tune in it, and to my glee found I could still remember part of it. Then as the layers of sleep peeled away I was mortified to realise I'd just re-hashed "I did it my way"... I don't even particularly like the song! Best wishes, Richard. Valerio M.

Don't get the reed wet Helen :-) My favourite place (either there or just thinking about it) is a cliff path called "The Warren" outside of Polperro in Cornwall. Slow airs and waltzes mainly as it's so peaceful. Narrow path, gorse bushes and the sea. Perfect for the music to come.

Presumably that clifftop experience already mentioned by others is what inspired the famous novel 'Fatal Fall' by Eileen Dover.
