Orchid Lady refers to the "Last Night of the Proms" when it follows the Brits in full war paint belting out "Land of hope and Glory" followed by "And did those feet in ancient times" plus I must say the best National Anthem arrangement yet. Been in the Albert Hall many times and it never fails to amaze me as to how many they can pack in the place and they all let their hair down and go for it, now that is what music does for the psyche.
David, Big surprise, listening to the radio with one ear turned off yesterday suddenly they were playing retro Blondie, turned both ears back on and enjoyed, she was good and still is so not all classics then.

Good for you, Frank ....you see, enjoyable music does exist outside the classics.
Taste David and Lily comes in many forms from what we eat through what we listen to and even what we wear plus our manners. Never wore Jeans in my life, think this need to wear cut off below the knee trousers mad also. Picking my Daughters up from Night Clubs wondered why young women went out half dressed no coat no handbag in the middle of winter, but it is what they did. Taught at school good taste meant standing if a lady came in the room, giving up your seat on transport, opening doors for them now often gets a retort using the sort of language I had no idea ladies knew and which I never even used in the army as a Drill Sergeant.
Musical taste is what we are brought up with and I had a classical Dad and musical's Mother. Entertainment was round the piano after Sunday tea and all the family singing the latest songs from the films or such as "Come into the garden Maud" "Roses are blooming in Picardie" plus Roll out the barrel and such wartime songs, it was full blast with favourite Hymns in the compulsory Church going. We raised our voices, take the mikes away and half those people you mention would be gone.
So Lily and David I like what I like, you are free to like what you wish although Cliff along with Boy Bands and the Spice girls types I would quite happily drown.
Frank, you're taking it too serious. Wires often get crossed on these forums mainly because sense of humour is difficult to portray using text. Given the time I've known you, you must realise that much of what I say here is just light-hearted banter and have always been your No1 fan.
Music taste? Perhaps Lily & I have a wider spectrum. "Boy bands & Spice girls" erm I am over 21, Frank.

I've never been a fan of Cliff Richard, but (IMHO) he does an excellent job with this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1obRHLmQ3gw I just love it!
David, "Aghaaaaa" never.
Frank.
Not really a fan of Cliff and never heard this one before, but quite liked this one.
Looks like you're right David
Just as thought there was hope for Frank
......seems we are the only ones with taste, Lily. 
Lol, looks that way

Oh dear, was just a bit of teasing, would be a dull world if we all liked the same thing. Sorry Frank.
