A ramble through a life well-lived.
Where adversity repeatedly turns into opportunity - like a phoenix from the flames.
With its share of drama, tragedy, success, failure and everything in-between, all with a healthy dollop of gentle humour, (or humor if you're in America).
The names have been changed (except where I forget to) but the stories are all true (at least as far as I can remember).
I hope you enjoy - please like, subscribe and let me know what resonates with you and what you'd like to hear more of. I will reply to all of you, eventually.

He talks about the life of an opera singer, including the challenges and employment uncertainty, as well as how his love of beer making came about, and what he'd do if he ever met David Tennant in an elevator!
