Voice lessons with a Master Singer

How I got into a CD booklet without singing on the CD!
One of my students bought an Alfred Deller CD and wondered if that was me in the photo...
Yes, they used a photo of me having a lesson with Alfred Deller at the Deller Academy in Lacoste, Provence in 1976.
One morning at the course, Deller came in and recited the text of John Dowland's "I saw my lady weep"...
the participants were floored...
Then, of course, he proceeded to sing it! And the public was floored again!
