[Magdalen] New music director at our cathedral...some here may know of him...

[Jo Craddock]

Jeffrey agreed, on the basis of an email request from me and 
recommendations of a couple of friends, to let Rory, then a 10-year-old 
boy soprano from po-dunk Louisiana with no special choir training, "drop 
in" on a few weeks of rehearsal with the St. Paul's K Street Boys Choir. 
He welcomed him, again, the next year, and they last worked together at 
an RSCM summer course. Seeing how training and encouraging young singers 
could and should be done was a life-changing experience for Rory, and 
his sister (who accompanied us), and me. We are forever grateful for his 
generosity. It would have been easy for Jeffrey to decline as an 
intrusion to an already-cohesive group.

Wishing him and Ascension all the best in their relationship, and with

Peace,
Jo
