What a lovely surprise to see Marjorie pop up on my screen!!
ReplyDeleteI don't like reading much, but I could read My Music My Life again and again. It's got so many touching, funny stories, with lots of precious family photos. If you still haven't read it, you don't know what you're missing!
Yes, I agree with Alice. When I first bought the book I read through it in no time 8 times in one month and now periodically still read through it. There's so much insight on the man Andre Rieu.
