Dear all,
"The BBC is going to show a programme with these words from the US president:...."
What God Said..
"George, go and find those tourists Agetha and Stan..
(a reference to an old couple who were lost whilst visiting Syracuse)
What "Dubbya" heard 1...
'George, go and fight those terrorists in Afghanistan'.
---------------------------------------
What God said..
"George, go and try Annie's in Syracuse "
A response to the question "But where shall I find these the tourists, O Lord?"
What "Dubbya" heard 2...
'George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq...'
-------------------------------------
What God said..
"Go get the Plasticine and a plate. It's really secondary, but get that piece on Middle Earth.
Clearly a "treat" for finding the tourists. "Dubbya" was allowed to spend his play time making
a brain out of modelling clay followed by a brief Lord of the Rings reading session before bed
(to remind him of his battle strategies).
What "Dubbya" heard 3...'Go get the Palestinians their state and get the Israelis their security and get peace in the Middle East.'
-----------------------------------------
What God said...
"You know, George, There are many, many people who think that your actions are just dangerous and stupid and that you've caused a lot of problems in the world that are getting even worse"
What "Dubbya" heard 4...

Back to the topic....
What settings did Tony Banks use on Watcher of the Skies?
I've been wondering about this.. I was told that it was a mixture of the London Portsmouth Sinfonia and A Able Accordionist. (those violins really do sound so real.)
