Justice has prevailed, and will allow those of us who knew Heather to have closure and move forward in this knowledge. Rest peacefully my friend, I think of you each time I sing Autumn Leaves...this one is always for you... with love xx
Yes Kath, and I fondly remember Heather singing 'Round Midnight' on the same occasion at the Star pub. God bless her children. I'm so glad I knew Heather.
Hi Lance good to see you on the telly !
Wish me luck, just bought a tenor sax for
my eightieth birthday. Still enjoying things
at the Black Horse.
Best wishes
Well Laurie it wasn't exactly how I wanted to make my début on telly - far from it. One of the saddest moments I've ever experienced.
On a brighter note - Good to hear you''re now a musician as well as a drummer!
Yeh Lance so even if people say my tenor playing
is c++p Im still (I hope) a good drummer LOL
