Jim has written a song dedicated to his Dad, Dave Chorley. It's set in the Winchester countryside. His Dad used to go out for a pint with his mate Doug every Friday night. They told their wives that they were going for a pint when in fact they were going to make crop circles. They came clean with the national press when it was rumoured that the Government were to fund scientific investigations into these 'mysterious phenomenon' The song is called 'Painting Circles in the Corn' Dave and Doug were both artists the You Tube interview below was when they confessed to the National press.
Maybe some crop circles have been made by UFO's what do you think ???......xx
My man ....filmed in the garden so the occasional bird call and bamboo chimes clanking in the wind....
With your cheese rolls and your beer, that's great. Great video of Jim

ReplyDeleteI can't wait till I can go home and watch the video and hear it all. I have no sound hooked up on my work computer. What fun. What did the wives think when they learned the truth. Silly officials thinking it was aliens. Good for the blokes who did it.
