I would personally like to thank those who have gone before with their encouragement. Your words have helped so much.

Tonight I will show Tony the thread I have posted, it has been a difficult week for all sorts of reasons, and somehow those people who knew about the post and spoke to me last night, were not in Tony's earshot.

I had an offer to help out with the 14th March last night, and it was my intention to say it would be Pearl O'Neill with friends amazing that anyone would want to!!

Kitty - I think you know where I am in a nutshell but it was ever thus, Dick & my lovely Roy - I take note of what you say, and I will take heart and see if that helps - although I think I'm still singing them 'old songs'.

Hazel - you are quite right - but because I wanted to 'update' I have sung with the words for a while. However I now have a wonderful wealth of material thanks to you and I think you will be in the middle of the 14th March.

Mary - always an inspiration to me, and far too long since you have both been at the club!!

Finally and no names will ever be mentioned, I believe I no longer sing in those high keys, and the comments have not been behind the decision.

Love and happy singing
Pearl xx
