This is such a brilliant performance. The dynamics and energy are just outstanding. Sad it isn't more popular. But for those of us listening what a joy!

If 'welcome mats were music' this would be mine. You wipe your feet when you enter and do the same when you leave :) It's what happens in that 'visiting time' where the stories unfold and accumulate. This takes me to all those 'in between' moments. A little magic goes a long, long way
