After a great deal more tinkering, I think I will rest on my laurels with Immy and the music and the story and the juggling of the illustrations. I hope said bay tree doesn’t have any sticky-out bits which will dig into me and make me get off the leaves-well-enough-alone again!
Here is the second-last page of the final story, and I have put the short theme which forms the main part of it on my sidebar player. This music I have named ‘Playground’, and the reference to ‘Boys and Girls Come Out to Play’ which may be picked up is quite deliberate. Of course, in another version which plays with the actual page the music has some people running away and diving into bushes, and things like that, but it still follows the theme faithfully.
Now, pretty please, can I do some blogging?

I am pleased with it, and with the orchestral effects. The kids seem to like it, too, which is the important part!

Now you have to start publishing online, words and music together. Something that was much harder before people had the devices to access both together.

Nice Col. Just a pity the side bar music player not opening on my computer, would have loved to hear your music.

Pity, that. Did you leave it enough time to buffer after clicking on the number or on the ‘play’ triangle? Sometimes there is a delay before anything happens.

Yes, a real pitty.

Only if you go to the sidebar on the right, scroll down to the player, and click on ‘Playground’. Other tunes follow automatically, relating to earlier posts.

Does that need a widget? I get emails for everyone on my ‘Following’ list, and all I did was click to follow.
