Yes I know, yet another music thread from me!

Stat - just leave it :lolol:

Both my parents are no longer with us. I heard this this morning and it brought back the happy memory of my father looking up from his newspaper and asking me words to the effect of WTF is this rubbish :lolol:

This song brings a tear to my eye every time I hear it was a big favourite of my mothers.

Dad was a huge James Last fan, owning some 50 albums (which I got when he passed away).

He is still a bit of a "guilty pleasure" as a former trumpet player myself I love the big band sound.

This was always a favourite, and immediately takes me back to boring Sunday afternoons and dad would "put a record on"

Mum and dad always had the light programme on in 60's, Sunday lunchtime before dinner, I thinkit was 2 way family favourites.
Always a Jim Reeves song on the show.

Some times it was Distant Drums, which was used, with different words in the North Stand to sing at the away fans.
Happy memories

Sunday lunchtime with Judith Chalmers (?) and two/three/four/five way family favourites and this was fecking on every week (along with Jim Reeves as mentioned above)


BFPO whatever number !

I have a tear in my eye again :down:

Very happy days for me

I wonder if our kids will feel the same when we are gone when they hear Pink Floyd, Jackson Browne, Van Morrison and Neil Young :lolol:

A song which my mother probably never even heard. As we drove away from the hospital after her death it just came on the radio and just fitted. More about me than her, I just wished at that moment that I could have lived up to her straight moral compass that she herself so sought. Now I realise we are all our own people and need not to judge ourselves by others so much.

These two are the first that come to mind for my Dad






Mum isn't much of a music fan.. but I was quite impressed when she asked me to buy this for her, back in the day.

My Father was purely classical, operas and ballets, this got played regularly



My Mother loved Hymns and Christmas songs, and would put Christmas songs on at anytime during the year.

Both mum and dad struggled with all of what I used to listen to in the 60s especialy as my dad loved Mantovani & Val Doonican and what he played on the beautiful wooden record player cabinet he had built....great memories though of around Sunday lunch listening to Round the Horne, we all enjoyed - Rambling Sid Rumpole anyone??

My mum played this on repeat for what seemed like a year. To be fair, I like some of Leo's songs and when I hear this I am transported back to Lower Bevendean.

This video shows days gone by in Brighton.
