    Do I hear horses on this track or is my hearing aid letting me down again?  %-(

    Can somebody please clarify something for me, I have read a couple of reviewers stating that 'Clay' is based on the true love story of two soldiers from the First World War, I assumed the events had taken place during the Second World War, can someone please clarify? and is it possible anyone has further information concerning the letter/s Alison read as inspiration, isn't it placed on a website somewhere?


    Many thanks in advance

    Probably soldiers marching off to battle.
    If I were dead, could I do this?

    Clay was breathtaking live. Alison was engrossed; she became the wind, the billowing waves of grass, the ancient stars...

    I love that in an artist....when they are so involved in what they are doing they are taken somewhere else.

    Thanks Hunter, I managed to read the letter now. I wish reviewers would get this right though, it's quite an important detail really.

    Is this a good thing? I've yet to find my first love.
