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

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
