How these Two names can be mentioned in the same breath is beyond our belief.

There was a very interesting article on Ivor Novello in the Daily Mail on Friday---comparing him as the Andrew Lloyd Webber of the day.
Unfortunately, because Ivor also starred in the shows--when he died, so did the shows---apparently !!
George worked in the theatre part time for many years as a doorman-and he saw all Ivor Novellos shows, and really loved them--and became very familiar with all the music etc. Plus he saw Ivor Novello and all the other stars many times. And the Royal Family at the Premiers etc.

That must have been a great feeling for George to have seen the likes of Ivor Novello and to have seen those magical shows with those beautiful songs.
We have a postcard that Ivor sent to a friend where he is holding the newspaper headlining the news of his wartime song "Keep The Homefires Burning."
A wonderful composer. We have all the music.

Forgot to mention the weather. So has it been warm enough for everyone today
L&H did tell us a while ago that we are going to have a HEATWAVE this summer
but they didn't say that winter would come back first, virtually in "flaming June"
you cannot believe everything you read

I Can't Help But Cry, But I Must Go On"

The wind's howling here right now Robert, but hang on it isn't June yet. A lot could happen in the next few days.
Don Black was on Eric 's show today Robert. Connie Francis being his special guest.
You generally catch up on the Listen Again Robert. Matt's song is early, but it's a lively show today.
We like the caller who can't wait for Eric to say, Sing me a song bubellah, and we have to patiently hold on while he sets up his backing music. It would be a real blow if one of these times Eric didn't ask him.
And another caller who is absolutely crazy about Connie's song " Who's Sorry Now" and eagerly tells her so, and is going to sing it with her as a duet and starts singing a completely different song.

What are you listening to
Well....What a day (weatherwise) for the Bank Holiday !
Listening to Matt's CD ' Through-The-Years,' ... ( Ebb-Tide ), then
looking outside at the horrible weather, down came the hail, like
golf balls !...The next tune from Matt....(Fly me to the moon ), wish he
could ?
