    Your performance of this song was one of my late dad’s favourites. I have tears in my eyes every time I hear it.

    He was in the dementia stage of Huntington’s disease when he asked me if you could sing at his funeral! He loved your voice, and so do I.

    Thank you for giving us so much pleasure over the years, Peter. You’re a good man.

    1. Thank you so much for your lovely comment. I was very moved by it. I don’t get to look at these very often, and my apologies for taking so long to reply! I wish you and your father well. Both my mother and father-in-law had dementia, and I do know how much this can affect the whole family. My very best wishes to you.
