I'm over 50, and in my experience, we only treasure what we have lost. RIP Jake Thackray

Personally, I like the orchestrations on some of the songs. It works on here and on some others, like La-di-dah, but with Bantam Cock or Sister Josephine, it wouldn't work as well. Another one with an orchestra is "Jumble Sale"
