It was a mutual friend - folk performer Bobby Neuwirth - that initially brought them together.

Belting out the words to Janis Joplin's Piece Of My Heart, I twirled in my sparkly mini dress, my newly highlighted hair swishing to the music. It was midnight in a chic cocktail bar in Soho and I was on stage at the DJ's invitation, after he'd seen my passionate dancing get the crowd going. My date was looking on admiringly, but with his arms crossed and stifling a yawn. As the song ended and the crowd cheered, I returned to my seat and he gave my thigh an affectionate squeeze. 'Come on, my good-time girl,' he said. 'It has been a heavy week.' And putting a protective arm around my shoulder, he led me out the door. This may read like a vignette of some ageing paramour reining in his younger squeeze - except that my partner Justin is 21 years younger than me. And at 62, I was the one acting like a buzzed-up teenager.
