When I left school, way back then, all I wanted in life was a Martin D20 acoustic guitar. I had a no-name jobby that'd been fettled to within an inch of it's life and I knew I was soon to outgrow it. The trouble was that American import instruments were extremely expensive, and I was on apprentice money for the forseeable future and my parents had six younger than me to feed and clothe so I thought this an endless task; my wages hardly changed but the guitar kept getting dearer.........But I persevered and after two years I had just over half what I needed, and the task began to feel unachieveable when one Sunday morning my mother asked me to sing her the song you hear below; it was one of the first things I'd learned, from this very recording, and she wanted to see how well I could cover it. I played it for her and she just loved it......she asked how much I needed to top up my savings, went away for a minute or two and came back with the cash in her hand, and said she'd had a little win on the Bingo now and then over the years and would like me to have the guitar and just let her have as much back as I could afford. To cut this a bit shorter, I got my guitar and worked really hard, both learning and paying mum back. This became her favourite tune and I played and sang it for her over many years for birthdays and special family does or just when she'd ask for it; it never failed to bring the tears to her eyes and sometimes to mine.

I lost her today at 94 yrs. old......In comfort and peace she left us gently, so this is for her........................... ...
