Checked out your tunes, swanee. All spot on. Hope you don't mind, but I've copied the URL's & posted them on the Cardiff boards' music thread (Genuine intentions....might not agree on football matters, but your music taste is '**** hot'. Check out aber's music thread on the Cardiff Board). Cheers.
Surely the thread can accommodate the occasional change in direction. No requirement to be hard and fast. I seem to remember some Bilko episodes where music was writ large into the script/plot,viz,an Elvis Presley look alike,called Elwood Prestle(?). Bilko tried to tape him when he was singing in the shower. I think he also tried to get Bing Crosby into his platoon. The chimp went to "call for another lawyer". Genius indeed.
"And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space 'cos there's bugger all down here on Earth." Genius.
It's not often someone manages to move this cynical Jack bastard but this one by Billy Bragg really gets to me...
OK - still reeling on Bowie. This was Rick Wakeman's tribute on Radio 2 recently. He played on the original of course. This had the public blubbing when it was aired. Simply beautiful.
