oooooooooooo that has made me feel quite tearful.

I met Ryan in 1977 when I worked for the local newspaper. He died not long afterwards. Far too young at the age of 40 of an asthma attack :-(

They really do Jem. I was brought up with Mum and Dad having sing songs around our piano with the neighbours when I was growing up. Happy days, and such lovely special memories left now.
