And, there's more.....from the Archives :-) Clearly, the guy is telling the gal a story and this leads to Billy Joel's "Tell Her About It" performed here by Elio Pace on 'Weekend Wogan' in 2010 when Elio was Terry's Musical Director. I feel very privileged to have seen Elio with his 'Big Band' and playing piano with 'Albert Lee and Hogan's Heroes'. Also, being at the four sold-out "Billy Joel Songbook" concerts that Elio and his Band have done at The Stables, Wavendon, Milton Keynes between 19 April 2014 and last Saturday night :-) I think it is fair to say that Elio is one of our (Helen & I) very favourite live performers. Roll on September 2017 :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Tell Her About It ~ Elio Pace

Added to 'Soundtrack to Life' From Wikipedia - “At various points in her life, Lorrie Morgan has been married to three different country singers: Keith Whitley, Jon Randall and Sammy Kershaw. She has sold over 6 million records worldwide.” If Keith Whitley had not died from alcoholic poisoning I do wonder if Lorrie and Keith would have stayed together. I feel sure Keith would have been one of the truly great country singers had he not succumbed at just 33 years old. Anyway, I first became aware of Lorrie many years ago when I purchased a “Live from Church Street Station” VHS Video.......VHS Video was one of them things where it was all too easy for the tape to get tangled up inside the VHS player :-) I don't think I put anything in the Rules about having more than one musical link. So, there are two links here. I will possibly get myself in a bit of bother but in the second link I think Lorrie's jeans are a very nice colour :-) Please watch/listen here - www.youtube.com/watch?v=mt83nMrr7kA www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhhjy-A88tk

Added to 'Soundtrack to Life' www.ipernity.com/group/362993 I have had in mind to use this piece of music but didn't think I would ever have a photo with somebody walking on a line or double yellow lines come to that :-)) It would have been obvious to use a Johnny Cash link but I do like this track by Rodney Crowell. And, Johnny Cash features in the video so that is okay :-)) I have most of Rodney's music including a couple of Vinyl LP's I recently picked up in a charity shop in High Wycombe :-) Of course there is another link here because Rodney was married to Rosanne Cash, Johnny's daughter from a previous marriage to Vivian Liberto Cash Distin. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjbqMy3g46E And, not forgetting :-) S is for… MARY SHELLEY Mary Shelley, author of Frankenstein. A miniature portrait made after her death by Reginald Easton T is for… TOLKIEN ‘Conversation with Smaug’ one of several watercolours painted by J. R. R.

Added to Soundtrack to Life www.ipernity.com/group/362993 It may quickly become obvious that I am struggling with my first entry to this weekend's 'Soundtrack Weekend' and have reached desperation stakes!! In a panic I have come up with a 'JAMI' link :-) Jami is singing 'Problematicna' and it has been a 'problem' for me :-) .......................hope ' Problematicna' doesn't have any sort of double meaning :-( I am led to believe that Jasna Milenković....... Jami (this nickname is made up from the first syllabuses of her name and surname) is a Serbian pop/folk singer. Watch/Listen here - www.youtube.com/watch?v=frUQk5HTtrQ **********ALTERNATIVELY********** J is for ... JAMI 'The vain dervish rebuked'.
