- Ian Matthews with Plainsong, 20 years ago, used to do a song whose title
- was listed as either Same Old Man OR Old Man At The Mill.
-
- (Same old man, working at the mill, mill turns around of its own free will,
- hand in the hopper, 'nother in the sack, ladies fall forwards, gents fall back)
-
- what are he origins of this song (ie, who did they nick it from!), and what is
- the correct title (if such a thing exists)?

- In a world of mega-stores, mega-stars, mega-sales and mega-hype, there is little
- room left for the individual with a magaphone. Everything is being brought in
- line with everything else. ERIC GOULDEN, 1990
