Turning it on and looking at one picture was enough to remember.

It all started with a lift.

Up in the air, feathering around,

he said:

“ This is the story of how I changed the way I dive.

I was old, I felt led on,

and after the riser,

the transatlantic fall,

I could say I’m at peace with all these cycles.”

I will never forget the first time I met Tony Flanger. These are his songs from a nation.
