benjamin1945 16,160 Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 On leaving school in 1960 and thru my Teens....Bobby was one of my favourites........Reckon i had most of his records.......those early 60s there would be a Party nearly every week with my old 'School-mates''....and the songs of Bobby Vee were always in evidence..... He sadly passed away  from Alzheimers disease at 73....... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,307 Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 I was going through a box full of sheet music the other day and found Richard Rodgers ' Slaughter on Tenth Avenue. I first heard it when the senior class at ballet (Patricia James who, in those days, was at the Cooperative Arts' Theatre on George Street) were rehearsing it for a show. The seniors were in their late teens and twenties with some very good students among them. It comes from On Your Toes of 1936, choreographed by Georges Balanchine. Here's a link to the incomparable Gene Kelly with Vera-Ellen as the girl. I think Cyd Charisse would have been a better choice.  Basically, it tells a story that must be familiar to our very own Ben. Doesn't matter who's dancing with Gene Kelly, you just can't take your eyes off him. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beekay 5,152 Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 Yes Ian, on the old AEC mk3 they also had a backwards periscope, so the driver could see what was happening upstairs. I used to call it a "Seebackroscope". 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
