Helen,
Yes, I do still enjoy the music - we are lucky enough to have it wall-to-wall in our (small) town; excellent sessions with skilful and devoted musicians four nights a week. Unfortunately not too much singing.
I feel, as you obviously do, that song has become an essential part of our lives and the people we have met down the years have left their fingerprints all over everything we do.
We spent a great deal of time over twenty years with Norfolk traditional singer Walter Pardon who, at one point in his life decided that his singing no longer came up to the standards he had set himself - so he stopped singing in public; but right up to his death he never stopped loving, talking about and passing on the songs and the experiences he grew up with - and we are all so much the richer because of that.
