I think our bits are part of the same story. It would explain why Bill
kept phoning him about it!

According to Fred. But then there are others who said that Billy
would hide in the woods when he knew Fred was coming (this has been
said of several of Billy's potential visitors). The stories about
Billy vary according to who was speaking - the truth, if there is
such a thing, will probably never be known. But they're good stories.

BC Fancy was inspired by a passing brass band which Bill remarked on
, and Billy obliged with the tune. (is the version I received)
