Beautiful and bittersweet! As John McCormack aged, his understanding of each song went deeper into his soul. He was an amazing singer, and I cherish him!

Why mnust we descend into Americanisms? Guts 'wrench', hearts are 'rended', as was mine, for this is the last song my mother ever sang to me, five weeks before she died and five days before I emigrated to the Far East.
