Yes Sandra, I will miss it for the next three months too ..............Matt always mentioned in interviews that one of his favourite singers was Perry Como, but Don never mentioned him as a favourite Matt singer :wink:

On his final show of the present series Don played Frank tonight :wink: ...........he also played "matchless" Matt singing one of his most glorious balllads I Get Along Without You Very Well :D .............Bing Crosby once quoted that he if went as "high" as Matt does during the song he would get a nose bleed and going as "low" as Matt does on that final note is not in his territory..........he also said that I Get Along Without You Very Well by Matt is one of the best recordings of a song he had ever heard :) :) ........................Don also played Kingston Upon Hull's very own Joe Longthorne too :)

A really nice choice of music again Robert.Especially Frank Sinatra 'The Way You Look Tonight' one of our favourites and to remember what a great voice Edward Woodward has. :D
