This was originally written in 1970, and revised in 1974. It is a sentimental ballad, and could have a light drum accompaniment, even bass and rhythm guitars, although it would sound equally well with a simple piano, or in this case, electronic piano backing.

My mother sang this revised version for a recording at the time, with Roy Saunders on drums. Roy and I played at most of the holiday camps in the Looe area in Cornwall, before his death. The attached MP3 file is made from that original reel-to-reel recording of 1974, dubbed onto cassette where the piano was then added - an early bit of multi-tracking! The recording quality is not, of course, perfect by today?s standards, but, I think, gives a better impression than the score alone.

The attached photo is my dear Mum and I, and was taken sadly only a month before she passed away on Easter Sunday, 2004.

The original version is also available now - i.e. with the original ending.

Touching
This is a wonderful heartfelt song that conveyed many emotions while I was listening to it. Although the song still sounds good in midi (in my opinion, must just be the soundcard), the MP3 does alot to this simple yet true-to-the-meaning song. Very nice job here. Also, I'm very sorry to hear that about your mother.
