I wanted to thank you so much for including my name in the Acknowledgments section of your wonderful book. That was such a lovely surprise and I am so honored to see my name included in such a fabulous tribute to your dad.
MATT MONRO: THE SINGER’S SINGER is simply wonderful! The book is a joy to read and just as much fun to dip into. It is inconceivable that there could be a finer tribute to the great Matt Monro and you should be very proud of your accomplishment here.
I plan to write a fuller review for Amazon in the coming weeks and I’ll let you know when it’s posted. This will only be the second time I’ve done that for a book but I feel yours is too special to be ignored. The book really is wonderful and it does what all good biographies should do: make you seek out the subject’s work, though of course your dad’s recordings are constantly on my CD player and iPod.
Thank you for the wonderful work you are doing to keep Matt’s memory alive and flourishing, and thank you again for acknowledging my very small contribution to your great biography.
Fondest regards,
Derek
