What a response. <br /><br />We listen to the Broadway station on Sirius in the car in the mornings often, and Paige and Graham loved hearing that you were in My Fair Lady and sang with the gang for "I'm Gettin Married in the Morning" so it is ironic that we talked about that as you were posting this about the same singer/actor.<br /><br />I think it is safe to say the singing bug has been passed down to the next generation. The other day, we were trying to lighten the mood, and Graham asked Ev if she'd like him to sing "Grandad's Ants with Pants Song"? ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11428271200951124255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7507772440005584879.post-72781588719962606802009-10-16T04:32:48.124-05:002009-10-16T04:32:48.124-05:00...well I just listened with sound turned high as ......well I just listened with sound turned high as it would go and heard Danny Kaye singing the Reg Dixon song..could imagine our Dad sitting there singing it...lovely. Now ,Eric, can we hear of any memory you have of 'Ferry 'ut' ? our wonderful playground near the Bridgewater Canal...ahhh, so clear now in my mind so hope you can add some new memories for me.:)<br /><br />Norma.xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7507772440005584879.post-84254784562331770512009-10-16T04:25:28.640-05:002009-10-16T04:25:28.640-05:00Hahahahaha wow ,what a memory you have ,Eric!! y...Hahahahaha wow ,what a memory you have ,Eric!! you are so lucky to remember all that stuff and I thank you 'most sincerely' (Hughie Green slogan)for bringing it all back to me.. 'Confidentially' WAS a popular song in our house too. :)I am now going to sit here and wallow in nostalgia whilst I listen to it sound turned up so that Noel can hear it...Thank-you,thank-you..and greedy,greedy MORE please. (the little bit of lino I am amazed at you remembering you were so young! )and by the way I was supposed to be 'tap dancing' hahahaha<br /><br /><br />Norma.xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7507772440005584879.post-23196052752373386182009-10-14T16:54:34.936-05:002009-10-14T16:54:34.936-05:00Well, Norma is correct, Ol's song's title ...Well, Norma is correct, Ol's song's title was Put your Arms Around me. The last line was as I said, I never Knew Any Girl Like You.<br />And Mum's favourite song was indeed Around the World. Thanks Norma.<br /><br />As to my song, well I don't think the group cared to hear a little snotty 8 or 9 year old at that time. Olive and Norma got the big play.<br /><br />Colin and I would egg them on and laugh at the soft shoe done in the corner where there was a little square of lino by the door to the stairs. We would drain the last dregs of the brown ale out of the bottles while no-one was looking.<br /><br />My Dad was always pushing me to sing Underneath the Arches or Imazas but I think my prowess was girdled by the females. <br /><br />But I do seem to remember an old Reg Dixon song that me Mum taught me. She liked it a lot too. It was Confidentially.

You keep them alive when you remember them and write them down.<br /><br />You gave us all a love for singing and the family sing-song. Anna would have fit right in!
