I pay little attention to the words of most songs. What grabs my attention is the music, the way that it is played and the voice of the singer. It has to be ‘happy’ music with a good rhythm and melancholy music has to be beautifully played with feeling.

Anything from the classics like Light Cavalry Overture, to big band, to dance band (30/40’s style), to skiffle, to traditional jazz, to marching and waltzing, to country and western, to pops up to about the eighties. Throw in a few comedy and novelty records and I’m listening.

It’s her voice BLACKBURN RAVER and the ease with which she performs. No quick gasping intakes of breath like you get with the modern singers. No need for a sensitive mic close to the mouth. Patsy Cline could project her voice without shouting, as could other singers of her era.

Helen Shapiro is another artist with that quality.

Nothing quite like a bit of hoedown to get the feet tapping. Thanks for that BLACKBURN RAVER I enjoyed it immensely. It’s what I call ‘happy’ music.

The Minute Waltz by Chopin performed in 30 seconds by Victor Borge Benipete. And “When I’m Cleaning Windows” with the follow-up version.

It’s not sad at all.

If its what you like then no one has the right to castigate you for it.

I’ve got all the CD’s too and I think that George Formby is great.

The chicken song by spitting image. Pure artistic genius

Not sad at all, I've got it too.

One of his best. A nice man in private life, a funny man in films, a damned good musician - George Formby.

I don't care who knows, or cares, I'm a Formby fan.

Another one I just love. This man died 10 years before I was born, he was only 35 and died from TB in 1933, and he is regarded as the "father of Country music". My musical tastes are very wide but....check this out. I think he was great and even my Rock guitarist son thinks he was quite "cool".

The great Jimmie Rodgers.

By all accounts his wife Beryl was a bit of a dragon and ruled his life and career with a rod of iron.

She even accompanied him on a record once, the title of which escapes me for the moment.
