So do I, dearie, so do I.
Maybe we should move to the waterfront in Maine, where this incident occurred? Unlikely to happen on the shores of either Lake Michigan or the Hudson for such as we.

Hmmm, well there you go, dearie, same impression as was yours truly’s. Pity.

Yes, that is my generalised impression of him, so good to hear from someone actually singing with him, thank you. Actually Sorry to see him say goodbye. The chorus sounded so lovely and every...

I just happened to have inherited a huge bin of CDs from my dear old friend, Shirley, who recorded everything she went to, for decades. There is a Medea or Medée in concert from NYC, with spoken...
