Talking with Valerie and Jim at today's Fenner sisters gig conversation got around to the currently popular Dewy-eyed postings.Jim, who was my best man, reminded me that as we awaited the arrival of the taxi to 'get me to the church on time' we filled the time in by jamming on Sir Charles Thompson's "Robbins' Nest". So, with such a pedigree I feel I should get dewy-eyed over "Robbins' Nest" at the expense of "Thanks For The Memory". Thanks for the Memory, Jim!
Not to be outdone, Jim's wife, Valerie, who also happened to be Marlene's bridesmaid, reminded me that, before we were married, she and Marlene were on holiday and M brought me back a 45 of Sinatra singing "I've Got A Crush On You". So I guess it is goodbye to "The Way You Look Tonight".
At least TWYLT is still in the game thanks to Ms. Anonymous who e'er she be.

What a great pic, just goes to show how important music was to you even on your wedding day..I'll bet that's a pic of your mum on the wall behind you!

Actually Liz, the picture is, I think, either Bach or Beethoven. It was, after all, her house. If it had been mine it would have been Charlie Parker or Dizzy Gillespie!
ReplyDeleteOh sorry, no disrespect to your mum, Bach or Beethoven...she sure had taste, but then I know she was a highly respected teacher of classical music

It's all coming back to me now - 46years later - the picture on the wall is of Mozart.
