No love for Chas Hodges on here, as I would expect. For anyone remotely interested

[Sir C]

I dont recall Mozart writing anything that could compete with the Sideboard Song or Ain't No Pleasing You.

He played guitar, bass and piano with Jerry Lee Lewis, Bill Haley, Gene Vincent, with The Outlaws featuring Richie Blackmore, with Albert Lee, Deep Purple.......

Whatever you think of him, the dude could play anything.

God gave him talent sufficient to play with great musicians, and he expressed that talent by writing Ossie's Dream?

He's basically gobbed in God's eye there, Clive.

Yes. That 'iddly-diddly village idiot quality' Sir C refers to is also known as 'Irishness'. What he is objecting to is that an Irish song sounds a bit too Irish.

By the same logic, he presumably would also prefer a country version of Redemption Song.

Actually, that sounds quite good.

It isnt a great song, by any means.
