So far ~ mid-February update

In 2017 Simon J. Proctor has (already by end January) set all 63 of the poems in Poetastery as a two-hour long song-cycle. We now await a date for the premiere.

In addition, other Composers have set as follows: 4,1,1,1 & 1 poem (so far !) Mr S.J. Proctor is winning by at least 59. So 'Hats off Gentlemen' etc. etc.

The Znethru channel over at YouTube continues to flourish with Mr. B #2 starring in approx. a dozen of the latest available video programmes, so please do feel free to catch up on the free entertainment.

He is currently studying Chaucer in the original (mainly because he so loves the spellings they had in the olden days!)
