What's In Your CD Player/iPod/MP3/Computer/Hi Fi, Right Now?

[Eman]

Hmmm, I decided to go back to the grade school days and pull out my Partridge Family/David Cassidy records. Anyone here a Partridge/Cassidy fan? LOL. I did listen to a singer named John Gary that our own Terry Como from the board recommended to me. Not bad at all.

[mariana44]

My sister was always a Partridge /Cassidy fan--still is. I loved Shirley Jones in the big musicals.

I saw David Cassidy interviewed on Tv just aboiut a week ago --he is over here doing a concert---I was amazed when he said he was 61 !!

Hi Eman, John Gary was a great singer, I have several of his cd's, his wife has a website for him at johngary.com, there's lots of cd's and even dvd's for sale on there. He died sadly about 13 years ago.

[mariana44]

John Gary is often played on David Jacobs show-a really lovely voice.

Talking of David Jacobs--i heard Frankie Vaughan singing last night-I forget the song-a very well-known one--but I had not realised what a great voice he had--i can only remember him from songs like "Green Door" etc.

Listening to Matt singing The Precious Moments

[Eman]

On the stereo turntable I'm listening to the US lp of Matt - From Russia With Love which I found at a record store during lunchtime today. I had to get away from the office for a tad, so I spent my lunch out in town and saw a record store.

Also listening to The Little River Band 's Greatest Hits. I love the songs "Reminiscing" and "Cool Change". I could hear Matt doing an ace version of either song!

Transvision Vamp's "Pop Art". Hmmm whatever happen to Wendy James

and last Brother Beyond's "Get Even" I love the PWL sound!

That should wrap it up for tonight before a new episode of "Glee". Is "Glee" big in the UK?

[mariana44]

"Glee" is popular over here--but so far, I , personally, have not been able to get into it.

Series 1 started recently on Satellite, and I thought it would be a good chance to catch up--but it did not happen for me.

[GregT]

"Glee" is big in Oz as well...
Mind you, we have Digital Miulti-channels over here which is a recent development (?).
You can now watch everything dredged up from an almost antediluvian era..
I saw "Are You Being Served?" last night, a bit of fun, depressing to think they are all dead though..(sigh).
It would be brilliant to see re-runs of variety shows that featured Matt on his numerous visits Down Under.. I might drop 'em an e-mail.!

[mariana44]

That would be a good idea Greg.

We have something similar over here with our Tv--my system is Sky, and there are loads of channels--so many showing old programmes from way back when--they do tend to repeat them though.

At the moment is a rerun of The Waltons, whih I always loved--but they are showing 2 episodes a day--just impossible to keep up with it.

[Marian]

Greg, Frank Thornton who played Captain Peacock in Are You Being Served is still alive, aged 90.

[ROBERT M.]

Surely Sky is available in Oz, as Rupert Murdoch comes from that neck of the woods

[mariana44]

I suppose it could be Robert--I had never thought of that.

[john]

Been listening to Jimmy Rosellis "Come Into My Life" cd, thanks to Lena and Harry.

[Sandra]

Listening to a birthday present - Michael Ball- Heroes.His new CD.
Some great tracks done in the Ball style including Tom Jones's' I'll Never Fall In Love Again'Neil Diamonds 'Play Me' and a really nice version of Johnny Mathis's 'Misty'

[mariana44]

Yes, that is a nice cd--I really like Michael Ball---but I prefer him singing musical numbers. I would love to hear him sing music from the Rodgers and Hammerstein musicals---Carousel, Oklahoma etc etc--I cannot remember hearing him sing any of those songs.
