So pleased to hear you were given such a warm welcome at Waterstones in Harrow and that the event was well supported.

The pictures are great and it was nice to see some of the forum members there.

I badly needed the morale boost of meeting Michele at Waterstone's
on Saturday because that very day at five a.m. my wife and I
received the distressing news of my brother-in-law Tommy's departure
from this dimension following a heart attack. Spending some time with
Michele certainly lifted my sagging spirits.
I love the staccato construction of the foreword to The Singer's Singer.
It symbolises the tension the Monro family had to endure at Cromwell Hospital,
while it simultaneously mirrors the heartbeats that were heading towards
their ineffably sad climax.
Like a long scenic river the flow of the narrative is enhanced by the interposal
of often funny personal quotes, and picturesque images from the Monro family
album. I look forward to deriving many hours of reading pleasure from Michele's
magnum opus:

THE SINGER'S SINGER

The lips whence a smile
seldom strayed for long;
the heart that always played host
to a song and made it feel,
here is where I belong.

Now the entire tour de force
is here as live recorded
on the big literature stage,
and the rapt audience rewarded
with vintage Monro page after page.

Keith Good

A friend of mine went into W.H.Smith's and Waterstones in Newcastle yesterday to buy one, and neither had any copies. :( :(

Both of our Waterstones have them in stock now.Although I had to be
directed to the music section as I was looking in biographies.
The assistants in both the stores were very young and I had to spell out the name and explain its content :( :x :?
