Finally I would like to thank Mr Roger Taylor, for being the "Perfect Host"
and Mr Chris Thomas for his help, encouragement and charity work,
I dedicate this adaptation of the "Lords Prayer" to him.
The Producers Prayer
Our Father who art in Ealing
Hallowed be thy Hearing,
Thy Group come, Thy Production be done
On the Radio as it is in the Studio
Give us this day our daily demo
And Forgive us our Overdubs
As we Forgive those who Overdub against us
And lead us not into Remixing
And Deliver us from the A+R Man
For Thine is the EQ, the Power and the Dolby
Forever, But Never Again
