I was blessed with a good memory, and I only have to hear a particular song and I am taken back to the day/s that I first heard it.

You say about the odern singers and the looy pop stick in their mouths......I entered a singing contest a couple of years ago, and the song I chose to sing was "The Last Farewell" by Roger Whitaker. When the chap in charge offered me a mike I said no thanks, I then got him to just turn the music down a touch. I sang my heart out. I came second,,,that was good enough for me as the previous time I had sang solo was way back in 63 in The Royal Albert Hall. The song I sang back then was "The Lord's Prayer" (Crimond) my Fathers favorite song.

Ah! Chris, The singer and his Song!! --- reminded me on our holidays a few years ago. In karioke ?? I sang to my Eve. "I just called to say I Love you" (James last was our favourite Orchestra) The crowd wanted more, but Eve was embarrassed. Had a few drinks bought (friendly persuasion) but my 'cheeks' must have changed colour. I still have a 'Sing a long' with my computer, but sadly, my voice box is not what it was, lol!!

Now when I first (I mean I had been going out with her for two days) met My Marcia we went to a pub in Criydon for a little drink, and there was one of those Karriokie things going on, now I had never heard of them before. There were pieces of paper on the bar and Marcia picked one up and started writting, I asked her what she was doing, without thinking she said I am going to sing a song....Oh no I thought,,,, anyway her name was called and orf she went, I turned my back and spoke to someone at the bar,,,,,then I stopped and listened to the voice of an angel singing "My Heart will go on" by Celine Dion, I slowly turned to the stage and there stood Marcia singing her little heart out, what a voice. When she finished she got a standing ovation from the whole Pub.

It was Marcia that got me to sing on the occasions that I have sung since, we even sing together "Oh Carol" being our joint favorite, but we change the Oh Carol too Oh Marcie and Oh Chrissie at the right time, people love it when we get up there.

So its my Marcia that my thanks go to for giving me the push to sing once again.
