Notes

Learned in 1985 from Ed Pearlman Tom Anderson's notes: "When the full moon shines down on a Shetland voe in winter the sea appears to be shining silver. Composed in the winter of 1966 when driving along Weisdale Voe. In the key of F major, as that key to me is always a silver colour." From a tape recording of Tom by a student.
