I started this thread,at Linda's request, on Saturday just after Dave died.I was not able to get my thoughts together, so hope you will forgive me for visiting the thread for the second time.
Reading all the wonderful messages above brings home what a truly incredable man Dave was.Not just a folkie, he sang in choirs,opera, and was a promenader at the Albert Hall every year.He inspired so many to stand up and sing(including me)introduced us to folk music, The National Opera and Indian food,but his sense of humour compelled him to tell the novice that a madras curry was a very mild dish!
In the past weeks he said he had a wonderful life and was content,then he told me that this August he sang "The leaf" at Sidmouth , middle bar , for the memory of Cyril Tawney.he said he hoped next year it would be sung for him.He was insperational and so very brave.
My thoughts and prayers go to Linda, Peter and Medae,his daughter ,and Julien,his son.He was a wonderful friend and Bill and I will miss him.
