    Pretty (but still makes me feel rather sad - such a great shame..).

    This is a favourite track from one of my favourite albums. Everyone should buy a copy.
    Also, I like the idea of more of Ali's wonderful music being available on YouTube.
    The Fretful Federation's next concert on 22nd Feb is in her memory and we hope to raise some money for her scholarship fund.

    So very lovely, such an inspiring person - hearing this was a bit of a tonic for me today, my own sister's anniversary is on the 16th - 20 years gone. I never forget that every day we have is precious.

    Cheers,

    Thank you for sharing, Ian. It's beautiful. I was previously unaware of "Duo Mandala", but thanks to you and also to jacky's recommendation above, a copy of this album is on its way to me.

    Ian, thanks for sharing. This CD has long been one of my favorites. Wonderful compositions, beautifully performed.

    Jacky, I see that my "Smitten" is on the playlist for your upcoming concert. I'm extremely honored that it will be part of a concert that is dedicated to Alison's memory. My thanks to you and all the Fretfuls for including a bit of my music.
