That's my girl!!!!

Yes, for me it's absolutlely essential to have shared and common interests with the love of your life. I have been blessed in that regard.

We are indeed a musical family. My lovely wife shares vocal duties in our duo. My daughter is a 'natural' - I've never heard her hit a note off pitch. Dad was a first tenor with The London Welsh Male Voice Choir and my aunt Leah was a member of the chorus at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden for over 30 years. I was fortunate enough to recently buy a CD recorded at the garden in 1955 of La Traviata with my aunt Leah in the role of Annina (Violetta's maid). The role of Violetta being sung by none other than the great Maria Callas.

Hope you guys don't mind me blowing my own trumpet - but I'm so darn proud of all of 'em.
