STEPHEN is his name,

Singing and playing,

Surely should be a fame always for him,

Who is a man of such gentility?

Who transmits joy to all and sundry,

His playing’s a delight,

It will stay with me this summer night,

Old songs he turns into my child’s remembered joy,

For me and others, numerous I am sure,

Mr Maestro (je suis t’adore).

God keep you well (to eighty)

Perhaps even more?

We you adore.

(An old 85-year-old woman)
