Music you sing along to - in the car, bath, when hoovering..

What are you playing in the background.

Hi Robert, yes we did hear Dewi this morning and Gracie Fields with Giannina Mia.
A tribute to Deana Durbin too, 85 tomorrow.
Robert we are listening to Eric Hall right now, and he will be playing one of our Matt's Christmas songs :lol:

Well it wasn't one of Matt's Christmas songs on Eric's show after all. It was "Laura," but we enjoy listening to Matt singing "Laura" at any time. :lol: :lol:

Golly - Deanna Durbin at 85! Thats lovely, I think she lives in France now. A wonderful talent.

I don't know whether any of you 'Northerners' have ever been to Eden Camp in North Yorkshire - its an PoW camp converted into a WWII Home Front museum - a great day out. In the 'Entertainment Hut' they have an endless loop of Gracie Fields - think she sings 'Wish me luck' and 'The biggest aspidistra in the world'.

Hi Mike

Yes, I've been to Eden Camp, cracking 'museum'.
I know somebody whose 6 year old son walked into the open door of an armoured vehicle there not so long back.
Unfortunately the vehicle wasn't for moving. :(
Ouch!

Hi Gray - Museum of Yorkshire life in York is still one of my favourite museums tho - that little street with all the old shops on it, plus the display of 'modern' antiques such as a 'baird' colour TV and a Sinclair ZX Spectrum computer.

Want to do the 'Yorkshire Museum of Flying' soon too. Have you been?

Hi Marian

Another marvellous tune! But I am resisting the temptation to download off i-tunes, as it is normally cheaper to buy Matts CDs!

Hello there,i ve been listening to a compilation cd of the hits of Garry Miller - what a terrific singer! Another great artist that died tragicaly young aged just 44 .Well worth looking out for Garry s recordings ,he deserves greater recognision of his talent. :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

We do remember Gary Miller Derek and somewhere have some 45rpm's
and if we're not mistaken "There Goes That Song Again" and "If You Were The Only Girl In The World " were two of his most popular numbers at that time.
Also we seem to recall that Gary Miller's son was a guest on Ed Stewart's programme one Sunday evening.
