Kadu flyer is a Bob-song? Ok, I'm pretty confused about this track. I just
checked my CD and was surprised to find it didn't have composer credits, and
I've sold my vinyl version, but my memory is that it was attributed to
Rudolph/Mendlkau<sp>. On the tape Bob Calvert sent me, he remarked that
Jamie Mendelkau was a Canadian writer who was a friend of his (I can't
remember the context of this, and can't look it up, because Knut Gewers
never returned the tape when I lent it to him for his Calvert site).
However, on the tape which Nik made for me in 1984 he basically says that
_he_ wrote Kadu Flyer and that it was incorrectly attributed to someone else
on the label.
