My Dad (1940 - 1997) singing.
My Dad 16/4/1940 - 23/9/1997. It was circa 1985 and we were at Joyce (dec.) and Wylie (dec.) Conroy's house. It was late at night and Dad had had a few lubricants! He would never have sung if he knew that I had the cassette recorder rolling, so I was lucky to record him.
You will hear nothing more than mezzo forte here, he could sing with overwhelming power when he wanted. The piano was between dad and the recording device. I think that his voice was a little like Caruso.
One man from the local musical comedy society heard him once and said that he could sing louder than 16 men. It was overwhelming!
Nearly all know the lyrics
