A
Bikwil Epitaph for an Extraordinary Musical Aristocrat, Part 1
— Tony Rogers
| "While he loved his
mother dearly and provided well for her in her later years, Gerald viewed
her as conventional and lacking imagination. The idea that he should
become an artist or writer, or even worse, a musician, filled her with
revulsion. At the age of 17 he wrote a play under the influence of Ibsen.
His mother condemned it as morbid, asking why he couldn’t write a play
like Charley’s Aunt." |
Gerald Tyrwhitt was one of his names, and if that
intrigues you, wait till you read about his even odder life
