The Substitute Scribe was on duty again and declared he could see no more obvious topic for the 31st Jan 2020 than to celebrate
Dick Miles' 69th birthday, performing our favourite songs learnt from Dick. Derek therefore sang
Bogie's Bonny Belle (
Roud 2155),
Farewell to the Monty (
Johnny Handle),
Tommy's Lot (
Dominic Williams) and
Lord Bateman (Roud 40
Child 53), as well as his own Flatlands, the first verse of which was inspired by Dick's Sugartown (a Suffolk nickname for Bury St Edmunds). No-one else chose to contribute a song to this, but Mike told a number of amusing anecdotes attesting to Dick's maladroitness with technology.
