Christ! A couple of years ago, a mate of mine told me that a relative of his
delivered Nick Drake - he was deadly serious about it, and didn't really
know an awful lot about Nick Drake either, but I haven't thought about it
since then... Until now, cos his name's Jamie Lusk. Bloody hell, that's a
strange one.
    So - for people on the Edinburgh list. He's the servitor at Potterrow at
the moment - Paul Laird, you'll know him.

Cheers,
    Keith.
