I love Rod too Soozy 
Have I told you Lately makes me 
Thought that he was great with Jeff Beck and the Faces. EPTAS was the peak with the song "Losing You!" my personal favourite.
Later it all went wrong for me particularly when I realised my Mum liked him.

So glad I'm not on my own.
He does make my knees wobble a bit ..............I have so many, many fave songs I really don't know if I could pick out a fave. A special time in my life - thank you Rod!
Nothing wrong with a bit of Rod, we often sing a long!
Was doing the "whoops up side yer head" dance at the bier keller in Morecambe in the eighties and the lass behind me said I looked like Rod (by way of a chat up line I think)
I was most put out

Your Mum had good taste, don't knock it.....My dad never got past Max Bygraves (God bless em both)

I never thought that Rod was ever a good looking chap so I was most insulted
I was also once followed round our local spar by some bloke literally dragging his wife/gf by the elbow, when we got to the check-out he asked me for my autograph....he thought I was Tony Hadley
Ooooooooooooh Soops - Waltzing Matilda was a good late one. The Killing of Georgie was fab I loved - Yo Wear it Well. I loved Young Turks - I loved Tonights the Night - I loved ................................all of them TBH
Thanks for the montage -
It was more the fact that he moved towards my Mum's preferences! We defined him as "selling out!" Other more practical punters would define it as huge success. Whether he wanted to take his place in the gramophone record shelf alongside shieght like Elvis, Englebert, and val Doonican is a moot point.
(even if the first LP I have contains a coupla Presley covers)

Awww GJ, my mum loved him, she said, when she died, that we should all stand around her coffin and sing and raise a glass...which is exactly what we did, 11 years ago yesterday....Even the 'naffest' 'Have I told you lately that I loved you" 'cos that's what she used to sing to us......sometimes it's just about memories rather than anything else

Now Tony Hadley never did it for me.... now I am heading for bed

I really and vtruly can't listen to 'I Left My Heart in San Fransisco' without filling up. My Dad worked really hard all week - Sunday mornings - he'd get up and the 'record player' was on belting out Tony Bennet (and Perry Como) we never got a lay in!
"My old mum on the other hand never moved past Des O'Connor "
Soozy, you have me wiping my tears from my eyes with this.....

Stop it Soozy, my sides are aching.....
May I just say that my mum, who is v much on my mind just now, got hypothermia rocking to Status Quo who were 'backing' Mr. Stewart circa 1981

Jeebus, I can't tell you how long my mum's list was Soozy....we did 'em all!
Now - to be serious here. I have lost the sound on my lap top. It's nothing to laugh at as I'm in th mood to listen to some tunes . It was in my hidden icons bit (down below) and I could turn the sound on/off - high/low - to my hearts content! The sound thingymebob has disappeared from my hidden icons OMG 
What shall I do? My three year old grandson will be here tomorrow - I guess he'll sort it! (I kid you not).
