Title: Lexicon
Post by naomi on Today at 16:35

I have a suggested addition to the Midvodian lexicon:

the Interregnum: the time between the two eras in which Pete and Clive have written, performed and recorded songs.
Etymology: The term is borrowed from 17th-century English history and also alludes to the King at Nightfall

a subsidiary coinage:

the Restoration: the current happy era ushered in above all by Mr Birkill

Any takers?

The Enlightnment: the period during which Pete was regularly touring with James/Atkin material.

The Renaissaince: see Restoration.

The New Age movement: Midvodians

The Reformation: the loosening up that has occurred in Clive’s lyric writing in recent times.

The Cold War: See for Miles attempts to get RCA to allow it to release Pete’s albums.

Colonial expansion: our brave boys tour of Austrailia.

The Grand alliance: James and Atkin.

Atkinian (nothing to do with law): adjective used to describe perceived characteristics flourishes in Mr. Atkin's compositions.

Jamesian: an auctorial descriptive adjective no longer limited to describing the works William of Henry James or works in which their influences can be detected.
