		In 1918, following a chance meeting with a senior officer of the newly formed Royal Air Force, Dr Walford Davies (who was to later become master of the King's Music) was invited to become the first Organising Director of Music.
		Convinced that the new Service needed to regularise its music training and create its own traditions, Walford Davies quickly established the RAF School of Music in a large private home in Hampstead, with the object of training band instructors and trumpet majors.
		Walford Davies left the Service in 1919 to take up the newly created Chair of Music at the University College of Wales, Aberystwyth, but not before composing the now famous Royal Air Force March Past (the 'trio' section of the march was added later by his successor, Major George Dyson).

		It was a lecture on music given by Sir Henry Walford Davies; the first programme concentrated on Shakespeare's songs, and included Where the Bee Sucks and It Was A Lover and His Lass amongst others.
		Davies enlisted the audience of schoolchildren present in his studio in a demonstration of how to form melodies, and had six choirboys sing Jerusalem.
		However, it is Walford Davies who has become indellibly linked with the early days of schools broadcasting, his unrehearsed (leading to complaints of his speaking too quickly and unclearly) music appreciation speeches becoming a staple of 1920s radio.

		First, Damian Walford Davies has pointed out that the ambiguous word is probably 'loophole' (Wordsworth actually wrote it 'loop hole').
		The final idea - 'heaven['s] countless eyes to view men's acts' (8) - could possibly be accommodated to an embryonic 'Thorn' project; the sentiment is not typical of Wordsworth, but may have been intended for some such narrator as he finally employed.
		In terms of Walford Davies' overall analysis of the fragment, however, this comes across as a saving manouevre designed to keep Martha Ray in the picture.
