The Last Rose of Summer

Time and time again I am asked the same questions:
"john where did you study? "
"are you professionally trained? "
"is it difficult to stay in voice? "

I come by my voice by virtue of my birth. I can honestly say, with great pride, that I have inherited my dear father's voice. "the last rose of sumer", the last track on this album, is
A tape recording of my dad, made in the cabin bar in glasgow, scotland on august 31, 1957.
