Earlier in 2013, Lou came to supper with Alan and I and presented us very proudly with a pair of gorgeous traditional maracas, which she said had long been a prized possession. Lou explained that she was giving friends various things "for safe keeping". We hastened through our meal so as to get to the serious business of the evening. On came our nearly worn-out Shirley Bassey CD... and off went Lou! Unstoppable. Unbeatable. Quite put us to shame. I'll never be able to listen to 'Gone' without seeing and hearing Lou nearly bust those maracas open. Now that she has gone, that's a memory I'm sure she'd be happy to know we have. Vincent
