The best version I ever heard of "No Man's Land" was by Alex Campbell, how I wish he'd recorded it! I still weep silently over "Sand and Water" sung by Beth Neilsen Chapman, "What is Life" from Orpheo et Euridice sung by Kathleen Ferrier or "When I am laid in earth" from Purcell's Dido & Aeneas. Possibly a sign of going to too many funerals these days. "My Way", howver, leaves me cold. Of songs I sing, "Last Year's Love", Michael Smith's "Dutchman" and Carole King's "Goin' Back" can still produce prickly eyeballs. Alan
