I burst out laughing and that was the end of my mood, so I suppose it is good therapy! :lol:
Karl you shouldn't have used a rubber plate :wink: :lol:

Don played Frank Sinatra singing Young at Heart, then he played "Britains answer to Frank Sinatra, Matt Monro" ..........Don said Matt was a big Frank fan, and that Frank adored Matt's singing :D .............the Matt song he played was the magnificent ballad Charade :D ................has Don got a memory loss ? .......as he repeated the Mario Lanza/Toilet Rolls story he has mentioned a couple of times before :roll:

On Sunday Don played a recording by Sue Raney. I quite enjoyed her delivery but have to admit I'd never heard of her before. Anyone here a fan?

Sue is played infrequently on radio 2 ............ but she has a nice voice :)

Don played Matt singing Memphis in June tonight :) ...............but Don mentioned at least four stories he has mentioned before ...........it's a bit irritating when he keeps saying the same things ...............I wonder if he has a memory loss or just stuck for something else to say :roll:

Don finished his programme with Matt singing You're Gonna Hear From Me :)

His third to last song was the wonderful "The Folk's Who Live on the Hill" by Peggy Lee ..........Peggy was one of Matts favourite singer's :)

At the start of the duet with Dean Martin, Don called Helen O'Connell .......Helen M'Connell .........but at the end he called her by her correct surname !

I also like Peggy Lee, she was one of Dusty's favourite singers too.
