Moving the goalposts again?

I intend to ignore that which is written above, and proceed on the basis that this is the authentic theme.

"which is why I know the words to random Alexander Brothers songs" Eh!

For here are your mountains and here is my stream
Just round the corner is the chocolate machine

Legs like a spider
I often tried to ---- her
Mary fae Maryhill

Misspent youth!

I'm nobodys chi elled....

FRIDAY


Picture the scene: Gweedore, County Donegal. A stiff breeze is blowing, but for the moment it's only threatening to rain. (Just for a wee change).

A colleen approaches as Daddy and I amble towards St. Patrick's. (Church of Ireland, since you ask). Daddy touches the brim of his cap, as he and the colleen exchange pleasantries in Irish. Eventually he speaks in English.

"Young Git, this is Máire. She goes to school wih your cousins."

Being a shy git, (then as now), I nodded, blushed and shuffled my feet.

Sure, she was a lovely girl, so she was!


Against the Wind - Máire Brennan


Thank you, Daddy, for the artist to whom you introduced me.


:o)

You'll have mislaid your t ...

The 10 year old is probably relating to the chocolate stains on his pants.

SG, there are a couple of things about "Moving the Goalposts" in the BCC.

Patrick will probably want to thank his mum and dad for introducing him to that typewriter.

Well you might.

Charley Pride was my mums favourite. I ent with her to see him in concert!

When I heard Pete T and Ronnie Lane cover Till The Rivers All Run Dry I was confused as to how familiar it seemed until I remembered that Don Williams 8 track.

But my thanks is to my folks for taking me to the parties (I assume child minding had not yet come into vogue ) at the cool Patsy and Angus house. The tape was Phil Soector Echoes Of The Sixties, the jumpers knitted, the cars Mk 2 Cortina, the sweetheart stout pleasant enough and the opening track:

Ike and Tina Turner - River Deep, Mountain High.

Great memories, great song and an opener if there ever was one!

Hi
This is paolopablos daughter. My dad has introduced me to lots of great music. One of my favourites is Still the same from his silver vinyled copy of Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Bands album Stranger in Town.

He told me that there is no point in asking for it as the bbc only own three Bob Seger tracks but I don't believe that such a big organisation can't have anymore.

I shall miss the show, being offski to the SCEE to watch Cirque du Soliel.

I've never been that keen on the circus since being dragged into it in the Kelvin Hall when i really wanted to be in the carnival.

Apparently, this is amazing, though,so I'm up for it.

Favourite marx bothers joke:

Dorothy Lamour : If you were half a man, you'd take me to the circus!

Groucho: If I were half a man, I'd be in the circus.

Vic Damone - On The Street Where You Live

:-0

#16 ! :oD oops. I take it that is not his real name?

I've been braped

From Mum's 78 collection...
Anton Karas (zither music) - 'The Harry Lime Theme' or 'The Cafe Mozart Waltz'
A fondness for the music of Hoagy Carmichael...'Skylark' is lovely.

From Dad...Another chance to suggest you search out...
Rusty and Doug Kershaw - 'Hey Mae' or 'Never Had The Blues (till I met you)'

- Victor Sylvester & His Ballroom Orchestra - To get you in the mood for Saturday night at The Plaza

Jim Reeves - I love you because

A great favourite of my mum and a song often played over the tannoy at Cellardyke Pond (or, as visitors called it during the Glezgy Ferr, "the baths")

The Daughter's Dad used to sing Elvis songs to her when she was a baby...
She says her favourite is 'Suspicious Minds'
She also loves The Ramones - 'Bonzo Goes To Bitburg'
And her favourite Dolly Parton track is 'House of the rising sun'!

Hi all, I have not been here for a while. Had 2 months working at Ferry's studio in London but now back to the real world and having to 'work' for a living.

My dad was born in 1926 and was a musical purist. He said if an instrument needed a plug then it wasn't an instrument. I got from him his love of classical music and brass bands. He used to sing 'The Floral Dance' at our family weddings so I would love to hear the Brighouse And Rastrick band's version of The Floral Dance dedicated to POB

My kids don't have Roxy blood in their veins (not that the admit to anyway)

Welcome back RJ.

Mum's favourite singer:

Frankie Laine - "Cool Water"

#19

I asked my son to have a look at my 78 collection and he came back with:

"5705" - City Boy
"Identity" - X Ray Spex
"Drummer Man" - Tonight
"Dance, Dance, Dance" - Chic

#23

C'mon then RJ!
Tell all. What were you doing?

Hello Bryan, Blogotariat,etc...

Oh no, neither Mum or Dad ever has introduced me to any singer or musician. When I was at school, my friends sometimes did; or I would read reviews of new records in 'Rock &Folk' Magazine. But my parents musical preferences and mine have always been ... incompatible.
Mum and Dad's music? Thanks, but no thanks.
Mum, Dad, I love you nonetheless, Mwwwwah!
:)

Ah, quite a few here.

Let's go for:
* The Soggy Bottom Boys - In the Jailhouse Now
* Bing Crosby (with the Andrews Sisters) - Don't Fence Me In
* Phil Harris -
* Spike Jones & His City Slickers -
With a whole stop chorus of hiccups.

all learned from their "The Great Stars" Readers' Digest collection

Via my dad's singing in the car (looong drives from Shropshire (hi Mike!) to Glasgow to visit family):
* All About Eve - She Moves Through the Fair
or if you prefer Simple Minds - Belfast Child
* Johnny Cash - (Ghost) Riders in the Sky
* Frankie Vaughan - Kisses Sweeter Than Wine
(the rest being far too Folky for GiO, such as The Pride of Petravore)

Definitely my Dad's favourite, both singer and song on their own merits:
* Doris Day - Que Sera Sera
(although I prefer the Sly & the Family Stone version)

Oops, forgot
* The Stanley Brothers - Angel Band
rediscovered on the quite wonderful O Brother Where Art Thou OST - I remember singing along the first time I watched it; on a transatlantic flight :-)

Amicales salutations.

Bien sur que je connais Charles TRENET _ Of course I have heard about Charles TRENET
