    I'm impressed, Robert! Duly posted on my Facebook account. (I see you borrowed some of the Sunflower singers!)

    Hi @Robert 1973 it turned out so lovely, well done you! The text and images are perfect.
    Kaeley's harmony is beautiful and compliments the song so well.
    And well done choir, recording and uploading is hard cognitive work (I cheated and got my choir leader to record me, I couldn't have managed it otherwise).

    Hats off to everyone, Robert especially, the hard work really has paid off, it's a beautiful, haunting song.

    Oh thank you, Robert, this is so beautiful and moving. Totally amazing.

    What a great tool for awareness, and also a perfect piece for the history files once we've come out of the tar pits of the last 30+ years.

    Plus, I got to sing with Liv! Yay!

    I've no idea what we're singing yet @Jan, but the fliers/posters are being finalised right now! (Planning feels all very last minute to me, but I forget how much healthy people can achieve in comparison to us spoonies!)

    Thank you @Robert 1973 and all the singers. It worked beautifully. A few tears as I "sat with " it today, joining in actually. Really takes you into where the losses of this illness hurt.
    Good Luck to @dave30th in pulling down every last shred of the BPS nonsense.

    Please don't feel bad Jan, the choir leader is used to putting on concerts so there isn't much for us to do. Although the poster has just been finalised so we can start sharing and promoting.
    I don't want to hijack this thread so I'll message you :)
