Denis's love of music.

Created by Lorraine 3 years ago

Denis had a life-long love of music. He loved Big Band Jazz when he was younger, The Ted Heath Band, Joe Loss, Dave Brubeck and many more. He went to see many of them live, some at Wimbledon Theatre which was at the end of his road. 

Music was a joy and solace to Denis right up to the end of his life.  He finally took a chance on getting a smart tablet just less than a year before he passed away. He was not sure at first but soon discovered the music gold mine that is Youtube and he spent many hours looking for and bookmarking old favourites to watch over again, but also many others that he enjoyed over the years.
