Well...the "Tale Of Bron" poem-- which was broadcast before the beginning
of many P/P concerts-- is from a song/poem recorded by Williamson.
(Maybe P/P wanted him to read it live before every show??)

Other than that, I don't know of any connections between Williamson and
Robert & Jimmy.

Hope this helps,
