I think Roger could have sung this in his natural, gruff tone and it would
have sounded great.  His reaction to the demo made it sound like Pete wanted
him to sing it as Pete did.  It's a shame, Roger really shines on some of
the other slower songs.

Trilby and Hymie are two older relatives of the kids in Glass Household.
They fall in love against the objections of their families and the kids do a
play about it (Trilby's Piano).

The FoF version has really helped me to open up to the song, oddly enough.
