I just wanted to confirm that M.Boyer was indeed slightly hard of hearing on one side, and had had an operation to rectify this situation. It is common knowledge in Goa, that were he to be prompted from the wrong side of the stage, he would not hear it properly. He was in his early days loving called, "boiro" and some have hypothetised that the stage-name "Boyer" emerged from being called so. Best, Selma
