So Sad. I had got worried to have no reply from Kevin; I wanted him to know we had recently read one of his songs (as a poem):

Dear Kevin,
I hope this finds you well!
I would like you to know that your song, though read as a poem, “ the Strange Conversation of the Two Moons” was received very well at “Prayers for the Earth”, Salisbury Square, Hertford on 26th March 2024.

Prayers for the Earth involves a reading/poem/ maybe a tune every day at noon, followed by 5 minutes of silent reflection. This will go on every day this year, at least when at least one person turns up!

We plan to compile all the readings into a book at the end of the year, and, if we can get approval of authors, print some copies, to give away or sell at cost price.

I hope you would you be happy to have your piece in the book – please let me know.

Another question: I once heard you sing Wild Mountain Thyme with a nice extra verse that I am not familiar with, something about a “humble abode” or “humble cottage” – please could you let me have those words?

We will probably air more of your pieces (Marmite for sure) before the year is out; If you have any soft copies of your work I’d love to have them…..

Best Wishes
Alan
PS May and I still sing your songs!!
