Beekay 3,316 Posted September 12 Report Share Posted September 12 Ben, for a minute, I thought you were singing, "Over the mountains, Over the sea, That's where my heart is, Waiting for me. Please let the light that shines on me, Shine on the one I love". Quote Link to post Share on other sites

philmayfield 4,647 Posted September 13 Report Share Posted September 13 I always considered Long Eaton to be the place to go for an illicit liaison. The chances of being seen there by anyone you knew was virtually zero! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It was the night before a big match and i had seen 3 of em...........didnt 'Grass'' though... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 4,647 Posted September 15 Report Share Posted September 15 I remember John Barnwell dating Louis Levin's secretary, Eileen, back in the 60's. They subsequently married. Louis, of the lacemaking family, was a lifelong fan of Notts County and became a director. He was an orthodox Jew and wasn't allowed to use transport on the sabbath so he walked from his home on Adam's Hill to the County ground for home matches on a Saturday. I don't know how he got to away fixtures! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DJ360 5,915 Posted September 16 Report Share Posted September 16 My favourite Billy Joel tune.. A sort of 'mega Doo-Wop' 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oztalgian 2,477 Posted September 16 Author Report Share Posted September 16 For me this is the definitive Bill Joel song. It will go down as a classic karaoke song along with American Pie 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MargieH 6,957 Posted September 17 Report Share Posted September 17 I love that song! Every so often on fb I get the video of a Scottish grandma reading the Wonky Donkey book to a toddler. I’ve seen it several times but it’s funny every time because she (grandma) gets increasingly giggly as she reads each page. Sometimes she is almost helpless with laughing. Laughter is very contagious…. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Willow wilson 763 Posted September 19 Report Share Posted September 19 This was quite popular in its day. We used to to sing it fortissimo in school playground along with Vaughan's 'Green Door'. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 6,957 Posted September 19 Report Share Posted September 19 I did a modern tap dance (with 2 others)to the above song in the old theatre on George Street when I was about 14. We had a pianist, though, not Frankie’s strange voice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 8,896 Posted September 19 Report Share Posted September 19 @MargieH I've danced on that stage many times. I wasn't keen on tap dancing but remember taking part in a 42nd Street routine there. Also Thoroughly Modern Millie, song and dance. That's where my shoe came off during the Charleston and flew into the second row! Our dance teacher was very strict and always told us that even if your head fell off on stage, you take no notice and carry on! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DJ360 5,915 Posted September 20 Report Share Posted September 20 Green Door was originally recorded in the US by Jim Lowe, and his version charted in the UK too. Similarly, Frankie Vaughan's 'Garden of Eden', was inspired by the USA original by Joe Valino I don't want to take anything away from Frankie Vaughan, because by all accounts he was a decent bloke. I remember him opening the rebuilt Boowul Youth Club.... swept by the Bogs in a Land Rover as I recall.. I saw him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DJ360 5,915 Posted September 20 Report Share Posted September 20 Here's another great ballad from the same period... This song..and all the others from that period.. always remind me of so much other stuff. Mostly the two fields opposite the street where I was raised. The way those tunes floated on the air from every house, on a Sunday, as the joint roasted, the veg cooked, and we all listened to 'Two Way Family Favourites'. That was an odd programme which would feature pop songs alongside the 1812 Overture.. and another of my faves at the time: And of course this was the height of the Skiffle craze too: Lost World..
