But like all heathen Americans you misspelled his name. Why, it took me six years of intensive training to learn to spell 'Drebbel' correctly.

And two more to get 'Neal' right.

This should be a good source of interest/entertainment

Must get a case or three in to tide me over whilst I catch up over the weekend

I don't know why, but when I think about the Drebble Trail, this song pops up in my head:

I'm more used to this version:

Until I was going to call the 'original' until I read this about the English version:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Those_Were_the_Days_(song)

Which led me to this story about the original Russian author:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Vertinsky

So you have a Russian guy singing a cover of a song made famous by an English girl singing lyrics written by an American to a tune originally written by a Russian. Nothing like a little full circle.

You wouldn't by chance be able to post a link to the original, would you.
