You are most welcome!

"Roads" from Rankin/Bass's The Hobbit I also admire very much. I just listened to the Donald Swann version for the first time. I agree with you, it does seem strange for that to be the version Tolkien approved of. But then, I suppose he didn't hear either of the other versions mentioned here, and so they didn't get a chance to be his favorite.
