Tuesday.

Odd incident this afternoon.  Talking to youngest grand-daughter, who's staying with us - lives in Sweden in the ordinary way, and will be 19 in March.  She is a great fan of the  Italian singer Pavarotti, who she considers was the best singer ever!  I was telling her about my  grandfather, who sang base (could sing basso profundo- very deep voice) and she was quite interested. I had several of  his old 78 records, but gave them to  Sarah a few years ago, so had nothing to let her listen to, but was telling her about the late Peter Dawson (an Australian singer), who was my Grandfather Horner's favourite. At this point Ruth  wandered off, and we carried on talking about base singers. After a bit  Ruth  came back with  her ........ well, it's a small computer..... and said "Which  of  Peter Dawson's songs did Great Grandpa Horner prefer?"  I said "Both his  and my favourite was 'Rocked in  the Cradle of the Deep",   
"That's lucky" said Ruth"because I've got a record of him singing that here."   She switched her 'Smart Phone' on, and played it, and it was better even than I  remembered it as being.  I looked at Swedish grand daughter, and said "What about that, then?"  She is a  sportsman,  and said "Pa, I think I've changed my opinion".

In fairness to daughter and grand daughter, so  have  I.  About modern electronic gadgetry, which is incredible.
