Notes

  • Dedication: In memory of Alma May Urquhart and Walter James Jennings who gave me the love of words and music, for Rosalind, Dean, Caitlin and Hugh, who saw me through some dark times, and for my beautiful grandchildren, Darcy and Imogen.
  • Epigraph: Perhaps my best years are gone ... but I wouldn't want them back. Not with the fire in me now. - 'Krapp's Last Tape' (Samuel Beckett)
