Yesterday I was listening to The Music Show, the most wonderfully diverse show I know, and there was an interview with Peggy Seeger, sister of Pete and who was married to Ewan MacColl.As part of that she sand The First Time Ever I saw Your Face, a song written both for and about her.
I don't think I have ever heard anything remotely close to the beauty of that.
Well, I realise I probably have, but it was one of those moments that told you you hadn't!
