Hi,

Roy Harper ... probably too many pieces about England over the years, inclufing various locations. (not listing albums -- too many of them!)

- Blackpool
- All Ireland
- The Lord's Prayer
- Watford Gap
- One of These Days in England
...
and too many other pieces to mention here. True poet in every sense of the word, unffortunately he probably would finger Am with a song like ... Have a Cigar or Welcome to the Machine!

, though one has its title on it ... "One Of These Days in England" ... which was a title for the USA ... but still fits. "Bullinamingvase" would be the English title.
 
I mean, you can even do U2 here ... how about Sunday Bloody Sunday?

Shoeburyness, Dagenham, Barking, Pitsea, Wapping..too many to mention.

Billy Bragg's Essex answer to Route 66 'A13'

There's never been a British answer to Route 66 really has there?...

Somehow place names like Sc unthorpe to Shoeburyness don't seem to meter in the same way.
