Last week, I heard this on the radio, I knew two things, first that it must be from Hamilton and second that this was George III because Farmer George was a bit manic about the Colonies…

I think that I may have to buy the soundtrack but I’m putting it off because I have a feeling it will lead to a huge reading jag about the early years of the US and honestly I’m not sure my brain can take it, I’ll forget something important, like who won the War of 1812 (we did, it wasn’t a draw, they sued for peace, we had to go and deal with the Corsican…again. And yes, just in case you were wondering I’m still sore because they bloody started it. Ok, we shouldn’t have pressed their sailors but they declared war to try and get Canada AND they killed Ned Pakenham….)
