- nope, it wasn't the theme sone, and it's hardly a traditional piece.
- it was written for a BBC movie entitled "Harry's Game."
-
- there are several clannad records that pre-date both Magical Ring and
- Dulaman. the best source is Shanachie records, and I'd be happy to
- post their address if anyone wants it. their prices are great and they
- often have specials, like order three and get one free. and there's
- no time-consuming searching to go through.
