Many thanks Chris. Brought it all back! Windup the gramophone, scratchy needle on to the 78. Nobody went abroad then. No telly adverts until the days of Take Your Pick and Double Your Money. Who could have imagined the future.

Try a straw dear Phoenix,dear Phoenix, try a straw.

Why do they have to be dancers as well as singers? isn't singing good enough.A confidant man singing on stage, with a good voice and smart appearance is very soothing and sexy. Having said that I do like a bit of foot taping stuff as well, I think its an age thing because once they start doing all the gymnastics I get puffed out for them Grin

Chris

Doris Day sang the first chart version of 'Secret Love' which, I'm sure came from the film 'Calamity Jane.'
The record got to No.1 in 1954.

Kathy (wet lips) Kirby got to No.4 in 1963 with her up-beat version.

My first recollection of a favourite record was 'Runaway' by Del Shannon, back in 1961.

My best mate's dad worked as a grave-digger in the local cemetery. The head grave-digger retired and my mate's dad was next in line, so they all moved to the house in the cemetery.

He and his brother were too young to go to the pub in the evenings but the rest of his family did. He hated being left in that big house surrounded by graves so he would plead with me to bring my record collection round every night.

The Del Shannon record was everyone's favourite so we would remove the arm on the record player and the record would play over and over for ages. Grin

It's a lovely graveyard, Mac.

I used to play in it as a small child, especially in the summertime. I knew every inch of it.

My favourite pastime in there was finding grasshoppers. I would listen out for one and hone in on it until I could see it and could watch it, perched on a blade of grass rubbing together its back legs.

No, I was never scared to go in at night. I knew every gravestone even as a silhouette.

All the grasshoppers have gone now, but they have been replaced by pigeons and grey squirrels, tame as you like.

It's in the centre of the City of Portsmouth, there's a main road to the north and south of it, to the east is the railway line, beyond the railway is Kingston Prison and to the west is housing.

It was so peaceful.

One of my sisters was scaring us with tales of all the bodies coming out of the graves at night as we were walking home in the dark through a churchyard years ago. She was telling us it was haunted and weird things happen,we then heard this noise creaking and footsteps. It was an old boy pushing a wheelbarrow, guess who was the first to run off? lol...I think she scared herself more.
