Like so many, I knew Sandy only through his singing and the written word; either Mudcat posting or personal e-mails. However, I have no hesitation in saying that he was a great man in so many different ways.

Some people have that gift of connectivity, what you might call the, "Have you met?...." or the, "Have you heard?...." effect. Like so many here have found, he also had that effect on me. His life's work opened my ears to many good singers and musicians.

Yes, the work will go on. Every time we sing, we will remember him.

Whatever one says seems inadequate on such occasions, but I give thanks for Sandy. He made my life the richer. Caroline, I am thinking of you all.

Best wishes,

Peter
