Alma's version a very different animal. Also we used to have a karaoke cd (don't judge) of big band hits and Night and Day was my song - although very difficult to sing those first few lines as it turns out. My daughter's song, at age 7, was Mack the Knife!Alysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15671033552961486737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-815567696079354237.post-52097609930480882422020-12-18T09:57:41.758+00:002020-12-18T09:57:41.758+00:00No worries, will do.

They had a quality day, all things considered, especially chuffed with the telegram (well, it was a card) from the Queen that I was able to sort out for them.Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05267504526414194713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-815567696079354237.post-30549403333715145712020-12-18T09:56:50.830+00:002020-12-18T09:56:50.830+00:00I know, mate, where has the time gone?

We will most certainly celebrate in person as soon as legally and sensibly possible. In the meantime your most excellent gift of every Gene album box set will be reloaded onto iTunes tomorrow to replace what disappeared following a computer death. This time I wont keep the CDs in the car and risk them going doolally like my original purchases. Cheers Mr P! The Man Of Cheesenoreply@blogger.com
