His 4th Symphony and Violin Concerto are nice but don't like his piano concertos and to me there are many others I enjoy a lot more.

He was a man of words and spent hours preparing his own speeches and they are shown in his own hand in various drafts as he developed them . . . plus in the House Of Commons he was very quick witted and often came out with brilliant retorts. So it is well documented.<br />His quotes including the Lady Astor ones are also true - they happened spontaneously when they were in parliament together together, Lady Astor being the first woman in parliament. . . . . and he often clashed with her and she could give as good as she got . . . . lol :)Eddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09745791493015952144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4603897690317712031.post-6071857026906050512014-07-14T08:45:24.998+01:002014-07-14T08:45:24.998+01:00I'm afraid I don't believe a lot of Church...I'm afraid I don't believe a lot of Churchill's speeches and quotes, especially his wartime speeches. I think they were written for him to project a good image of him as a leader to boost the morale of the people in those dark times.
