Such a devastating news !! I was a student of Allen Da Silva Sir at Scottish Church College way back in 1995-7 . As I was reading Wordsworth's Daffodils today for no great rhyme or reason, I suddenly remembered Sir and thought of looking him up when I came across your post. A stunning quality of simplifying the complex at the level of most without diluting the core in his magnetic diction and vocalulary, is what distinctly stands out about him in my memory. Notwithstanding a suave sense of humour, not to be forgotten. That was a man. Whence comes such another?
