There are some tunes which, once heard, are never forgotten. Unfortunately.
One such melody occurs on an album of early 1970s Christian children’s songs which I remember well, despite my best endeavours to forget it.
The LP is one produced by the redoubtable Betty Pulkingham, who features on the album sleeve in a luridly technicolour picture. She is pictured seated on some steps, with her guitar and a determined smile, surrounded by children in improbable early 70s attire. Of course, because of her guitar, we called her Betty Plucking-em.
