Can I brag a bit about my wife's family here?  Orla's father was head forman
for the construction of the present building that houses the Crown Jewels at
the Tower of London.  He was also in charge of the construction of the Shell
Building on the Thames, that can be seen in practically every photo taken of
the London Eye!  That job went on for the better part of Orla's youth!!
There is more to that building below ground than above ground, with the
basements going under the river & under Waterloo Station!!

No music in this post, but they ARE interesting facts.
