The classic theology of my tradition comes from the French Renaissance.

I'm popular in the United States and I'm popular in England. England is just more concentrated. The people are closer together. Venues are closer together.

But, I enjoy doing concert halls all over America, England, Scotland and Australia.

If I should die, think only this of me:
That there's some corner of a foreign field
That is forever England. There shall be

A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,
Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam,
A body of England's, breathing English air,
Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home.
