I have sent my comment on Past Carin to the Mudelf working on the CD with that song.

I don't know who has the CD with The Minstrel, but here is my comment for that song.

At first hearing Eileen Pratt singing it, I knew I must teach the song to my daughter. Almost two years after her funeral, I sang The Minstrel for the first time in public. With grateful thanks to Graham and Eileen for permission to record and to my Andie for lending me the courage to sing it.

I know it is a bit longer in words than suggested, but I really want to explain why it is so important to me and to credit the people who inspired me to sing it.
