Benny and Björn

A few months ago I mentioned Benny and Björn being behind Steps' Story of a Heart which does sound rather ABBA-ish. This evening on a drive north, from around Carlisle to Glasgow I was reminded that the musical Chess has a lot of good music in it. What impresses me more is that it manages to be good without sounding like yet more ABBA. I wondered what fraction of my children's generation will ever hear it.

Incidentally, on that drive I sometimes saw a railway train alongside so the West Coast Main Line appears to be back open at last.
