One of my late mother’s favourite songs. It reminded her of when her big brother, Billy, came home on leave from his RAF training. He was killed in a mid air collision in 1942, aged 21. She never fully got over it.

Beautiful elegance. I come here to find what's missing from society, now. It was never predominant, but was also never till now extinct.
