Her sister is totally and completely deaf and she was just sitting there watching it all.

She watched me speaking, she couldn't hear anything.

She watched me play the cello, she couldn't hear anything.

She then, in the middle of the piece, she saw it was a bit odd.

I put the bow down and pick up another one.

I played with the broken bow, she didn't know that that's what it was, and she had it.

Welcome, everybody. This is Simon Gilbo with Inspired, and I'm very excited to have an old friend who I've never met in the flesh, which is interesting, isn't it? Because we've a lot of different

connections, but yeah, we've missed each other. I was due to preach in

welcome to Gerard Lefervre. Yeah, thank you so much. So Gerard is the, he's a cellist and he's a director of the

Yes, I'm really excited to get into that, but we'll hold off a bit.

And we just aim to stir faith, to point people to Jesus and to look at mates from all sorts of different spheres and walks of life

you've got loads of stories. So I'm really excited about it. I don't know much about your

background. What was your first link with me? How did we first go in touch going back?

I came across your book,

Choose Life, and I read it avidly, and I thought it was absolutely fantastic, so much so that I

bought maybe 50 copies and started giving them out to musicians. So I'm basically a missionary

in the music profession, and my orchestra is a Christian community,

first and foremost, although we are a professional chamber orchestra.
