Hello, Miss Kathy. 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall has received a number of mentions. I like it, not just because it involves copious amounts of beer (somehow magically stuck to the wall), but because in my dotage I can actually manage to remember most of the words. Thank you.

Dutoit. I mentioned some of the concerts that had really made an impression on me (I didn’t mention for good or ill), and when I mentioned Et exspecto the look on Chuckles’s face told me he too had been appalled by the thing...
