It is absolutely wonderful and it made me cry. The journey through the songs is beautifully defined in both words and music, and I ended up feeling wistful but unbowed by the end, which is maybe what you were intending. The lines "Will you leave if I tell you that..." with those soaring chords broke my heart. Although I have not made this journey through AIDS with anyone, my best friend is battling advanced breast cancer at the moment and I could not help but think of her and her husband as I listened to those lines. Thank you (and John) for creating this. Cath xxx Roger, I bought a copy of this from Amazon, and it arrived this week. It is absolutely wonderful and it made me cry.
