On Friday February 16, 2001, a day after the natal day,
some of Tony's and Laurie-Ann's friends kindly came
together at a celebratory gathering which included food,
drink, gifts, a speech, live music, fellowship, memories, heroes, testimony, truth and acknowledgement,
history, geography,
the Beatles, and love - which is all you need.
| Tony thanks all his friends, including those who weren't able to be there that night, and offers this multimedia momento. It covers all the most important people who have influenced him and shaped who he turned out to be. |
Listen to Tony's speech (40 mins)
The list of influences, in priority order
Listen to "House of the Rising Sun" (10 mins)
With thanks to George Dai for taking the photos
and for sharing birthdays; it was his as well,
and to Laurie-Ann for the vision to hold this event,
and for preparing the lovely food.
