Well Niel Gow wasn't a 'great' composer either, with one or two exceptions,
but has stayed the course. Someone else mentioned Gow alongside Shand. They
do have similarities. Shand was a necessity for our hoose perty's when I
was young. I would like to look again at his work. I meant to do this a year
ago when I read his biography, but never got round to it.
