This recording is very slow (by my standards) and F major (which is the key in which it usually appears) is not a great key in which to sing.KeyReedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02894097012924024789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7948117492116997244.post-23773246214445920472018-05-23T06:55:05.171+01:002018-05-23T06:55:05.171+01:00Hi Penny, nice to hear from you again.
