Our eyes cut the distance as loving eyes must

spatch just came into my office to warn me that he had some news I would not like and when I asked who had died he said David Collings.

He was correct. I do not like that at all.

I could have done! It does sound like something I would do. I am an old telly/radio pusher. XD And I do remember very well talking to you about Stephen Oliver's music for it before now.

Nobody told me he sang in Their Finest! That's even more reason for me to see it.

It was very unexpected, halfway through, but a very nice bonus, and I can at last now believe Hobbit Bill Nighy and actual Bill Nighy are genuinely the same person.

A friend just linked me the track tonight. It's lovely. And especially affecting for me, since "Wild Mountain Thyme" was the first song I ever performed by myself, in front of an audience. (I was in fourth grade, I think, although I'll check with my parents. I had heard it sung at the previous year's graduation and fallen in love.) I believe that particular version is also a total anachronism in 1940, and I don't care.

Aw, cool! And some anachronisms don't matter; that's why we have poetic licenses. ♥
