How many

Steps to Heaven ? According to my old  record there are three :)
This reminded me of Three steps to Heaven sung by Eddy Cochran.
He was on a UK tour in 1960.
Sadly he was killed when the taxi he was travelling in crashed into a lamppost and he died later in hospital.
Gene Vincent who was with him survived.
As to the work across the back  The men have never been seen since the ladder was put there :(
