  @russellmilkins You're more than welcome. Funnily enough, the open tuning secret is precisely why so many people struggle to get it to sound right. I get a big thrill from being able to 'unlock' the padlock for those giving it a go on this one, so to speak.

  On reflection, I actually think I wrote...

  @russellmilkins Let me give you a helping hand. The guitar part is written and played in an open tuning. ie; try tuning your strings to the chord of E Major by raising the 3rd string (G) by a semi-tone to G#, then raise the fourth string (D) string by a full tone to E and finally raise the fifth...

@DickLodge68 You're almost correct. Midnight Special was, for us at any rate, recorded entirely live. Top of the Pops was as you say with us recording a backing track for live vocals to be on the show itself. Don Kirschner used a previously made film of us. To clear it up, this particular video ...

@victoriaindigo Actuallly, I didn't know he had 'his' very own private back-up singers. The band's back-up singers weren't too bad, for that matter. You can hear them on this track, funnily enough.

  @alanbstard4 I believe it's actually Fresian, Monsieur B'Stard. English of the 15th century is not that far off modern Fresian.... a little more Dutch than German, so to speak. Chaucer is an example of this worth noting.
