The Two Mothers Who Molded Lincoln
Both his biological mother and his stepmother helped set Abraham Lincoln on the pathway to the presidency.
"On the winter morning of January 31, 1861, Abraham Lincoln stepped inside a secluded farmhouse seemingly adrift on the vast Illinois prairie. The president-elect had left his hometown of Springfield only once in the eight months since garnering the Republican presidential nomination—in order to finally meet his running mate, Hannibal Hamlin, in person—but he had one special goodbye that he needed to deliver in person before departing Illinois for his inauguration. Inside that cozy farmhouse tucked underneath a blanket of snow, Lincoln bent down his lanky frame and embraced the wizened woman he called “Mother,” not the woman who gave birth to him, however, but the stepmother who helped to set him on the path to the White House."

"Today I travelled to the Roman town of Chelmsford where I visited Chelmsford Cathedral. I met up with the Dean of Chelmsford Cathedral. He is Nicholas and he gives a great and interesting history of this beautiful medieval building with all the changes that has happened over the years."
"He then personally gives me permission to play Boogie Woogie Piano in The Cathedral. I'm sure you will like this one. I'd like to say thanks to Nicholas and Jonathan for making this possible. All the boogie best. Terry Miles."

No, it is not me. Terry Miles has made many videos, as he travels around to many pubs, and starts playing their piano. Google "Terry Miles and Pub pianos" and listen to more of him.
