My father was a great lover of the Irish tenor John McComack and was horrified when in the early nineteen sixties I bought home a modern version of one of his much loved melodies. Well judge for yourselves, dear reader.

I'll Walk Beside You
It is an old cliche but music can lift the soul and reduce you to tears, sometimes both at the same time. It is strange how a different artist or a different arrangement can make the same piece of music sound totally different. I am not referring to so called "cover" versions here but to give you an example I have a Tchaikovsky piano concerto played by two recognised artists of their time and one has so much more depth and quality than the other that it is scarcely believable.
