CONDOLENCES TO CORINNE BAILEY RAE

I was so sad to read, on Monday, of the death, at such an early age, of Corinne Bailey Rae's husband, himself a gifted musician. Last summer, a group of us saw her play at the Glastonbury Abbey Musical Extravaganza and the whole performance was just beautiful: her voice, the music, the lyrics, her friendliness, her always smiling face. My daughter bought me a double CD and a DVD of her music, which I am currently playing in my car, and listening, now, to these love songs of hers I keep wondering how she is and my heart and prayers go out to her. This is a tragedy that shouldn't have happened; reminds us how fleeting life actually is and how we should cherish each new day.
