Hello all. Me cheeky diane, where did you ever get that idea from

Lena and Harry visited Leeds WAY before Charlie Chaplin was there, they travelled up in a coach and horses

Hi Marian, this is another great number we know well....
It's I'm Old Fashioned I Love The Moonlight

Here's another....
Songs were made to be weathered
Clouds were made to roll by.
Yes we're made to be feathered.
True love can never die.....

Hi Lena and Harry--yes of course--the great "I'm old fashoned"--that verse is not often heard.

As for your new one--I do not think I know this one---but I am going to think about it-- those lyrics----could it be to do with birds---or pillows maybe

Hi Diane, Thanks for all that information about the Leeds Variety Theatre
We can't remember who the main entertainer was that evening, but we know that Sheila Staeful was on the bill and Barry Cryer was the Chairman.
We remember thinking how unusual this theatre was, if we remember correctly the entrance was down a side alleyway and could have been passed by. We've got photo's that we took, but now we have a similar theatre in Kilburn, The Tricycle Theatre.
We used to enjoy those weekly Tv programmes from the Leeds Variety Theatre. We often used to see the show's Chairman Leonard Sachs and his wife Eleanor Summerfield shopping in Queensway.
Your Daughter who lived in Kilburn would probably see a big difference in the area now Diane in more ways than one. I Lena was born there( come on Robert here's your chance )

so have seen plenty of changes. We admit to having a fair knowledge of the Old Time Musical.
Thanks again Diane.

Marian, no it isn't about birds or pillows, we talk about so many songs but we have mentioned this song quite recently.

Marian, remember we discussed Jimmy Durante's songs.
This one was also recorded by Hildegarde. Bette Midler and others

Hi Lena and Harry--no I still cannot get this one-I have been through all the Jimmy Durante songs I know, but nothing is coming to me. more help, please!!

Hi Marian, this is one of Jimmy Durant's best, You'll get it now with this line As long as there's the two of us......

Hi Lena and Harry--of course--its "the Glory of Love"--I just did not recognise that verse--nor did I know that Bette Midler had sung it.

Well here is my new one-I have had it ready for some time---and you may well know it straight away--but it is such a nice one, I really wanted too use it.--here goes---

We might have been meant for each other
To be or not to be, let our hearts discover
I have a feeling, it's a feeling I'm concealing - I don't know why
It's just a mental, incidental, sentimental - alibi
But I adore you, so strong for you
Why go on stalling, I am falling, love is calling - why be shy

Marian

Hi Marian, this must be "Let's Fall In Love" Why Shouldn't We Fall In Love.
Part of The Refrain appeared In The Verse

Well Here's another .......
I Was Never Able To Recite A Fable
That Would Make The Party Bright.
Sitting At The Table I Was Never Able
To Become The Host's Delight.
But Now You've Given Me My After Dinner Story
I'll just describe you As You Are
In All Your Glory.

Hi Lena and Harry--i was practically sure that I had this---then when I checked, I was wrong. I think we need some help ---again!

It sounds kind of familiar, but is not coming to me.
