Gosh I have been trying to remember-but so long ago -mind is a blank-perhaps
something about Hitler having one ball ?? and 'ick ack ock'? the music seems
stronger underneath the arches that sort of thing -my mother playing piano
in a pub and we kids not allowed inside!!left with a bag of crisps looking
through the window!!
