This morning

I took my time with the fags and coffee, and started thinking about the new pieces I'm playing, and in particular a little anonymous thing called Watkins Ale. I remembered a book of recorder pieces we used at junior school, of pieces referred to in Shakespeare's plays. Many of them were marked 'anon' where the composer's name would normally be shown. I thought that Anon (rhyming with 'cannon') was the name of the composer, and remember how the teacher laughed when I asked her who Anon was.
