Possibly Simon M, you could be the winner - but I think Asset may have a claim too - taken to see Bob Marley by his parents - that is special.

Musicals - Carousel, South Pacific, The King and I, My Fair Lady, The Sound of Music - still know all the words ....


Kenneth McKellar (my dad was Scottish)


Harry Belafonte


Hang Down Your Head Tom Dooley - can't remember who did it, but it had a purple label :))


Sparky and his Magic Piano (on 78s :)) )

Yep - my Dad was also into Roger Whittaker (and James Last too)

Queen, Squeeze, Van Morrisson, Simon & Garfunkle, Everly Brothers, fleetwood Mac, The Beatles, The Doors, Gerry and the

Pace Makers, Buddy Holly, Dire Straits, Roy Orbison, Travelling Wilburys, Bob Dylan, the Stones. The list is long.


Not saying I like them all either.


Ironic how most are on the overrated bands thread too.

Me to Tillie, I had "somewhere" sung by Mr Mathis played at Mum`s funeral, She and my Dad loved him (tu)

"In the Mood" stood out like a beacon, in fact anything by Glen Miller's band was more than palatable in my book.


Hit songs were around for several months or perhaps a year, before they disappeared back in those swinging times.


You could whistle, or sing them if you knew the words, sadly it's not the case for much of the stuff produced today.

I thought I'd bump this old thread just to revive interest.

Stones, Who, Hendrix, Beatles, Beach Boys, Stevie Wonder, Four Tops, Marvin Gaye


(Actually just realised I already posted, but it bears repeating).


But my mum also likes some awful stuff... showtunes/Lloyd Webber/Elaine Page sort of stuff... and my dad like Dire Straits... thankfully I had the ability to separate the wheat from the chaff.

If I had gone on my parents recomendations I would still be listening to the Black and White Minstrels , Val Doonican and Mikki and Griff ...


my uncle however , had more of a clue .... he usewd to listen to Dark Side Of The Moon .... I had an aunt that used to lend me her Kinks albums .... that was a bit of a musical turning point .

    • There can be different vaccine versions for different age groups. Two weeks after having my two from DL at TJHC I have today a text from TJGP to say free flu vaccine is available for me  at the practice, and asking me to book online (where next appointment offered shows as 13 November). Years ago, when the two practices were still in Melbourne Grove, the GP practice was similarly not aware that I'd already had my flu vaccine at DL.  This time I can see my 9 October Covid one in my NHS online GP Acute Medicines records, and then, at the end of the entries: "Unknown Date "Influenza vaccine (surface antigen, inactivated) suspension for injection 0.5ml pre-filled syringes ..." I'm wondering if this date error is happening to others getting dual vaccinations from the TJ DL, or any other DL branches.  And whether it's turning up in the patient records of any other GP practice.
    • What kind of witch hunt is this? mandatory facial recognition? prison for shoplifters? Shops can protect their stock as they wish. but they choose profits first.  The obvious solution would be delivery only - and when you can get your shopping in 15minutes, who really needs to go to the shop? but no, the shops like the sales from people browsing and being hungry when they shop. They don't lay the shops out for our enjoyment. They don't actually care that much. If they did, there would be active and empowered security, lower stock on shelves, more security tags etc... don't be fooled. If you're going to go after shoplifters, go after the organised crime, theft to order etc
