A name for the tune

Winston Bailey · FREE STORY

The old band never recorded its railway tune. Winston writes a few words about it on the back of the photograph: rain, lunch tin, late train. He considers calling it “Platform Three”, then admits he cannot remember the platform number. “Under the Gutter” is less dignified and more accurate. He writes that instead. At the next family gathering, somebody may recognise the rhythm. If not, he can tell the story, and somebody else can decide where the beat begins.
