They were brilliant Tracey, just as good as they always were. I had a fantastic evening, I didn't have a clue where we were going that eve, meal first and then the concert, great surprise, (he earnt a few brownie pionts!) Blue were the support act, they were good too.
Oh sorry Tracey, didn't mean anything. But oh yes, that smile........those eyes..... I'm starting to drool lol ........well I wouldn't kick him out lol
OMG, so much good music being mentioned here and so many memories. It's amazing how much you forget (I do, anyway) but music brings it back. Asked mt favourite, I could not say. so many. But now loads that I had forgotten. Radio 2 is great for that, especially the non-stop oldies. Tracey, an inspired thread. I'm going to answer back a bit at a time, and will bore you all whilst I work backwards
Sweet Caroline, Lily. Was ruined for me by my karaoke neighbour at 3 am most mornings when I was pregnant. Now hate Neil Diamond, as I only hear 'Jimmy'
Tracey and Lily, one of my clients went to wet wet wet. So jealous. She never shut up about it on FB! Here OH bought for her too. Not one of my favs, but would have liked to see. Lily, what if he trumped?
Artjak, someone has to. just joking, I was born in Wigan, and someone has to be!! Each to their own, and I find that if you listen to something enough, you begin to like it. (see my post above re leo sayer and Johnny Mathis!) I also posted a link to a 9 yr old girl singing (i think) opera. She could change my mind.
Can't kep naming names, I'll be here all night, AGAIN! Elvis Costello, good one, Dove. The Nolans! reminds me of the very first time I drank alcohol. At a party when I was 13, in a gorgeous crocheted dress that my Nanna made in hot pink and turquiose, with leg warmers to match and satin leggings. I was the bees knees but hot a hell! Wore it for yrs as a long sweater till I got my own place and boilwashed it by mistake! Gutted There was also Blondie and Madness at that party!
Punkdoc- Seal. Love it. And what a lovely bloke when I saw him interviewed. That has to be somewhere in my top 20. I agree, we should have a song of the day. That would help us to remember old favourites. What do you think, Tracey, it's your thread.
Archie, I'm jealous. maybe I can get my friend to sing for me some time. She's with a group called 'Peat Loaf'.
Dove and Doc, can I officially join the p***ts?!
Lily, Buble too? You're a real softy in the middle, aren't you? I'm admitting to nothing!
Doc and Tracey, Clash, squeeze? and the sex pistols is about all I remember of punk. Was more heavy metal myself. aerosmith, Ac/Dc, Rush (2112 was Ace).
Lily, love Elton. once played 'sorry' to my sister after a row. didn't work, we still don't get on nearly 30 yrs later, She's still a bitch with a smart mouth and no friends!
Oh. and Lily, up to the point where my younger brother discovered 'mixing' and stole all the vinyl, scratched it to hell and wrecked the needles on everyone's little record players. Could kill him. Still. Some of those records would be worth a fortune now, and a lot of memories destroyed. Must ask Dad if he still has any left. I know most got thrown out. I nearly threw Peter out of the window when I found he had ruined 'Off the Wall' and 'Thriller'. Not so upset when he buggered up 'The Lion Sleeps Tonight' By Tight Fit. How embarrassed am I that that was the first single I ever bought with my pocket money. Think it was 99p. I've had great fun showing the TOTP video to them though, and embarrassing them with Mum's terrible taste in Music
Vinyl had it's own tiny scratches or blips, that still stick in my mind and that my boys will never now hear or appreciate. I can still hear the little stick in the Beatles 'Baby in Black' or the stutter on Cececelia! And on others that I hear on the radio.I still, after all these yrs, remember the scratches.
So, Song of the Day, as per PunkDocs, suggestion sounds a good one, I for one would love that. How about for each song, a memory that goes with it? a great way to remember loved ones or happy times. Or why it makes that person feel good? Like I feel really silly for the Muppet song, or really sad for Dance with my Father, by Luther Vandross.
This thread has proved just how good music makes us feel, and how it speaks to our hearts and souls. Every song has it's memory, good or bad. It will evoke a different mood. I'm sure we all have music that we iron to, cook to, clean to or otherwise work to, and music that we relax to, read to, knit to, etc etc
What do you think, Tracey? you've really started something now. This thread seems to speak to everyone! Can we have a song a day?
