Well, sad to say that since my last post on this thread in 2008, my Dad is no longer with us: died on Christmas Day 2010 at the age of 93.
He retained his love of music to the end: never a great TV watcher, he loved Classic FM (apart from the ads!)
Anther abiding memory is of his style of singing: I used to hear him in church: if it got too high, he'd just drop an octave mid-hymn. Then if it went too low, up the octave again. It's a technique I've taken on myself if a song is not in my own chosen key!
He and my Mum (died 2002)loved choral singing, and Gilbert and Sullivan: the latter also passed on to me as I joined our local G & S Society for quite a few productions. Great photo of them in full regalia for a production of "The Mikado"!
