Ooh, and something I have long wondered: was Barrington Levy's Robin Hood LP the inspiration for Barrington in Maid Marian and her Merry Men?

I'd actually been waiting quite impatiently for the confirmation (or refutation) since you originally posted that you'd emailed him. Thanks for passing on the answer :)
