Do you remember what you were singing Carole Williams.

Carole Williams
Gae Galway sisters we sung it everywhere. My siblings and I sung at my dad’s funeral all on tape as he was not religious, so we sung. Singing was big in our family. Still is up until I had brain surgery can’t hold a tune nowadays

Gae Galway
