I played my parents some Gryphon once , they seemed to enjoy that ... then Sound Sound Your Instruments Of Joy by The Watersons ... I suppose thats one example of how much The Sally Army has influenced me ... they seemed to like that ... my dad used to quite like The Beatles but lost interest when they got into "that transcendental meditation nonsense " as he used to put it



I made them a cassette of folk stuff to play in the car once , steeleye span , blowzabella ,richard and linda thompson etc took me f**kin hours , to my knowledge they never listened to it once ..... the silly chuffers :)

I don't recommend any music to my parents as they are both dead. However as a parent it has interested me that my son's interest in music has expanded from what seemed to be just loud noise to a variety of stuff including classical music and nothing to do with his parents influence. The other day I heard 'Moon River' playing in his room whilst he was on his computer. I've no idea where his influences are coming from.


As an aside, we i.e the family, contemplated ,albeit briefly, having 'Where's your Mama gone' played at my Mum's funeral.

Ended up with 'I did it my way' by Sinatra.

well I'm talking about years ago Declan , back when I was a yoof ... its funny you mentioned your sons taste changing as he's got older ... I can identify with that ... 15 years ago I was listening to stuff like The Orb ,Dub , and dance stuff ... these days I'm happy to make a cup of tea and listen to Bert Jansch .... folk has always been there though from an early age .... I can still cut a rug though ... oh yes guvnor !

You're making these up, aren't you :))


Edited to say: Just like you do in the Song Game, cos you think nobody will notice :))

Can't be considered true till it's googled, can it.

Come on Sue (feelthe noize) we ALL know Dig A Pony!


I tried getting my Mum into Motown. She was racist. Oh dear.

Recently I realised I was listening and rather enjoying the beautiful tones of Matt Monroe.

Damn it.

As an old Soulboy I can tell you I was always staggered by how many soul fans were pretty racist

    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls. 
    • There used to be a better baker than Gail's on the same site immediately before Gail's pulled their financial muscle.
