philmayfield 6,140 Posted December 22, 2023 Report Share Posted December 22, 2023 That brings back memories. I remember learning to play that on my guitar. I think we first performed it in Bramcote village hall. Fingers not so supple now, can barely hold a pint glass! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DAVIDW 1,683 Posted December 23, 2023 Report Share Posted December 23, 2023 I think the first single I bought was an instrumental . African Waltz by the Johnny Dankworth Orchestra . Strange choice for a 12 year old! 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,467 Posted December 23, 2023 Report Share Posted December 23, 2023 I remember that. Memories of the Light Programme in the early 60s. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IAN FINN 808 Posted December 23, 2023 Report Share Posted December 23, 2023 Still have the African Waltzon a cd that my dad recorded in the early 60s on his Philips reel to reel tape recorder. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MRS B 521 Posted December 24, 2023 Report Share Posted December 24, 2023 I can remember the Light programme on the car radio when my mum, dad and I used to take my brother to Birmingham where he did his mechanical engineering apprenticeship at BSA but came home for weekends. Also the shipping forecast and “sing something simple” Can also remember tuning in at home to the police frequency, always seemed very exciting at the time but not very good reception. Had to keep very deftly moving the dial to tune in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beekay 5,150 Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 Jeff Waynes "War of the Worlds" ! Now that is a good listen. Can't be arsed to post it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Willow wilson 894 Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 From 1960, Last Date, words written later, sung by many artists. This tune doesn't need lyrics, it carries its own pathos tinged with a touch of bitter-sweet. But with lyrics I recommend Skeeter Davis. From about the same time, who can forget Russ. This also a favourite of budding guitarists of teenage years, well it was fave in our house. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jill Sparrow 10,307 Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 Prefer the piano concerti. If I had to choose a symphony, it would be number one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
