Dane,

you probably know all this stuff about red dots but it makes for a very interesting read.

Thanks, Brian...that's consistent with other information I've encountered on the subject. In Balinese Hinduism, a small black and white flame shape is substituted for the 'dot'...but the meanings are similar. That's a good site; I'll be checking it out when I have similar questions.

The backyard is in Liverpool. And CACITBY is one great collection! I didn't care much for it after the first listen. Disappointing. But the songs have matured a lot. I may think Fine Line is the weaker track. I place the new one well ahead of Flaming Pie and Driving Rain. But this is not Take Away songs!
Searchers amongst my teenage favourite music. Still fond of them, but earnestly a little puzzled they are considered THIS big! But I'm very excited about this forum, and will love to read it regularly, and also contribute!

Indeed.
