Dear Di, dear Alan,

hard to keep back the tears hearing this wonderful tune if you know the story...

I had herd Di singing in some of the songs you posted on your website, so I already knew how swell she used to sing.

But I think this is even standing out - Di, you really gave me the complete image of what you were singing about: Painting nails, powdering your nose, always having Al on your mind - SO LOVELy !!!!

Among those wishees I have for the future there's this one on a prominent position: Please, let Di get well enough again, so she can sing, sing, sing !!!!!

And, Al, due to your health issues you haven't posted any soloing parts since I've been to the Forum, so it was so nice to hear what a great guitarist you are - loved that solo with that old-fashioned dark jazzy tone

I often mentioned that I am a mixing wimp, so my opinion doesn't really count (we got experts here on the forum who can tell if there was a white or yellow butterfly passing by the studio window during recording, so they will be the ones to professionally comment on this issue), but it sounds really fine to me.

And (if you at all allow a non-native English speaker to comment on this): Although the original title is far more one of that kind one has (I have) never heard before and thus is attracting a bit more attention prima vista, the new title reflects the song even more, so changing the title was a good idea in my mind.

Unfortunately my PC refused to open your karaoke post - it showed a warning that the flash player plug-in was infected - so I decided to rather not take the risk of getting nasty beasts on my HD - but maybe there's another possibility of sending it to me , for instance by WeTransfer or the like...?

Thanks an awful lot for giving us the wonderful chance to listen to thistreat.

And Noel: Thank you very much for your request.

All the best to all of you,

Stefan
