@DaleTrumbore just received my copy in Melbourne. Can’t wait to read it. Congratulations!

"'Music by Women' is not a theme. Collecting a bunch of pieces written by female composers does not in and of itself constitute an inspired concert program. It certainly doesn’t deserve congrats."

I was very close to scrapping 'Honey' & starting again, but what really won me over was coming home to my home away from home, 'Cush Manor' and listening to Alicia & Charlie's two little girls sing it unprompted at the breakfast table as they were putting honey on their Wheetbix.
