Thank you for that, Rossian. A special memory for you.
I'd like to think that she did, too.

Superb. ^:)^

Emailed my cousin in Perth earlier, and reiterated thanks for so patiently and so often lending me some of his record albums years ago:

Glad you liked that, limeygal.

The first time I remember hearing this hymn was on the radio: I thought it was so lovely I didn't want it to end. In my opinion this is the only possible tune for this hymn, no other will do -

Charles Wesley's Love Divine, All Loves Excelling, tune Hyfrydol [5:08]

Was in contact with an old girlfriend recently and we both had a giggle about this one... Men and women, it will never work but, strangely, we get on, with or without each other... :)

YT prompted me to recall another item we sang at the Auckland Town Hall: The Coventry Carol, not in Polish though:

No Irish in my ancestry as far as I know, but this is one of the many tunes my father used to whistle:

The Rising of the Moon - Na Casaidigh (The Cassidys)



Fugitive Words - Htennek Niwhsa [1:56]



How I wish I knew where some of these old photos were taken...

An Rìbhinn Mhalda - Griogair Labhruidh [5:44]
