IS THIS ME?

THE FOUR A's

Four A's today.

Alvin Stardust - A picture of you. The original was by Joe Brown
Adam Faith - When Johnny comes marching home. The original was done a couple of hundred years ago at a guess.
Anthony Newley - Do you mind. Andy Williams did the original
Andy Williams - Butterfly

WW II



Not the WWW (World Wide Web) but World War 2. Some songs from that era and a little after for you to listen to and remember.

Vera Lynn - The White Cliffs of Dover and We'll meet again. The forces sweetheart.
Glenn Miller - Auld Lange Syne.

Yes it is only a picture but is it the best Beatles picture ever?

SEE AND DOUBLE U = C & W

Some C & W to listen to today

Limeliters - There's a meeting here tonight (although more Folk than Country)
Don Gibson - Blue blue day
Bonnie Guitar - Dark Moon
Eddie Arnold - The prisoners song
Alma Cogan - Cowboy Jimmy Joe
Billie Joe Spiers - Blanket on the ground

The Limeliters
are famous for 'Have Some Madeira M'Dear' which I will hunt through my collection to find and post some sunny (probably wet) day.

TODAYS MIXTURE

Today we have a mixture to listen to -

Mark Wynter - Answer me
Paul Anka - Love me warm and tender dear (some great orchestral work)
Danny Kaye - I taut I saw a puddy tat (real odd)
Duane Eddy and the Rebels - Girl on death row. Believe it or not Duane sings this song. Sounds great although a bit morbid.
Buddy Holly - Oh Boy. This is odd as well - he sings solo with no backing.
Anvil Chorus - a bit of the classics. A terrific sound.
Andy Williams - Lonely street.
