Great catching up with Iris Gross Derke and Jonathan Griffith from the brilliant, Distinguished Concerts International New York (DCINY) and so many wonderful friends too.

Ae fond kiss, and then we sever
Ae fareweel, and then forever
Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee
Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee
