This is a collection of favorite songs by Patsy Thompson - the better half of Tony Latimer and the songbird of the sensational folk and Chantey pair.
Patsy played these songs with dear friends on the night of Sept 11th - it was their way of wrapping their arms around a world in sorrow. Uplifting stories in song and memories from childhood,of friends gone on, and of our young lovers and golden lovers of later years. I play this in the afternoon with tea and cookies.
