   My father (1911-1965) was a rifleman of the King’s Royal Rifle Corps, 7th Armoured Division (The Desert Rats) 1941-6, certainly in the North African campaign, possibly in Normandy, probably in the European theatre.

   My mother (1912-2020) lived and worked in London throughout the Blitz.

   “You know I’d go back there tomorrow / But for the work I’ve taken on,

   Stoking the star maker machinery behind the popular song."

   Joni Mitchell probably wrote “Free Man in Paris” about David Geffen. That’s a rather special testimonial.

   “Jenny kissed me when we met, / Jumping from the chair she sat in; / Time, you thief, who love to get / Sweets into your list, put that in:

   Say I’m weary, say I’m sad, / Say that health and wealth have missed me, / Say I’m growing old, but add, / Jenny kissed me."
