Nice work with the amaryllis and with the pictures too. I could notice it is a talented family, the music composed by your father is so beautiful! Really nice of you sharing all that! :D

Thank you.
That piece of music NEARLY got lost.

I remember him playing it in the 1940's/50's. I can't remember the name or title though. How this copy came about was that when I was in college doing a University degree in 1961 our college drama club entered into the tunbridge Wells Drama Festival, we performed one of my Father's own plays, a comedy called "Festival Committee". And I used Dad's music to play at the beginning and end of our production. Dad played it and I recorded it on a reel to reel tape. Many years later after his death in 1986, I was then Married to Dilys, and I "found" this tape, and played it to Dilys and her musically talented sons in 1993 0r 4. They then from a scratch old tape wrote down the music and I filmed Jonathan playing it on my video camera on a VHS tape! Last autumn I obtained a new vhs/DVD recorder and copied the video from VHS to DVD disc. I then copied that on to my computer and turned it into an MPEG video, which I then put in to Zorpia & Youtube. When I made this video of the Amaryllis I played that video and copied the sound !

Quite a story!

I want to get a Mpeg video of Jonathan playing that peiece without errors in sometime soon LOL

Thanks for your kind comments

t is really a great luck it was not lost. It was a long way from this piece of music being written to my hearing it. When I come across things like that I wonder how many wonderful works have been lost in time. No wonder you are a talented man, it is in your blood! No need for thanks, I speak the truth! :D

that was interesting yet so beautiful! so you have to wait 3 yrs for a bulb to grow and then grow some more?

Yes it takes at least three years before the seed becomes big enough to be a bulb that will send up a flower. But it can take longer.
