Dear Hasbeen,
There are so many tunes that give me goosebumps from the Big Band Swing era. Tunes like, "Night and Day," "Song of India," "Sing, Sing, Sing," "Moonlight Serenade," "In the Mood," and so many others. My husband took me to see, "Candy Man," starring Wayne Scott Kermond at the Arts Center here in Melbourne recently. It was a celebration of song and dance. Show business is in Wayne Scott Kermond's blood. He's the fourth generation performer in his family. His family tradition has enabled him to acquire skills such as singing, tap-dancing,, acrobatics and slapstick comedy. It was a marvellous show and Kermond combined a tribute to Sammy Davis Jr in the show. Great stuff! Posted by Foxy, Wednesday, 14 July 2010 11:51:06 AM

It's said that Birthdays are good for you.
The more you have, the longer you live. However, too many of them will eventually kill you so - make your own arrangements - and good luck. Posted by wobbles, Wednesday, 14 July 2010 3:08:01 PM

Benq, I wasn't there during that era, or at least not tuned into any of those artists back in the sixties. But I know what you are talking about, because there are some timeless hits from those guys that you still hear being played on the radio pretty often, such as this one from Manfred Mann:

benq and gang.
Music, the chink in my armour. Hermies hermits - minus Peter Noone (Herman) played in eastern Australia earlier this year. Pity they didn't stay hermits. Proby made a come back to the theatre recently in England. Millie (small) who cares. Paul Jones (Manfred Mann lead) is still around in England Freddy and the Dreamers (mk God knows) still makes reminiscing tours in the UK. "give me back my gabardine mack", "do the Freddy". Peter and Gordon did a reunion last year, I think, in England (quiz question: What is/was their relation to and which Beatle?) What was a Beatle's relationship with lead singer of the "Foremost" (big songs "thank you very mooch" and "Medicinal Compound")? Twinkle! strewth gone and well forgotten ... watch her 64 hit 'Terry' on you tube. As for The rest ...don't know. Music that holds interesting memories for me. While The Beatles influence is indisputable and the talent of Paul and John was huge as song writers ...I was never a huge fan per se. Like CJ my musical taste is eclectic and driven by feeling like it at the time. Some times baroque music, sometimes jazz (both), blues,EP, R&B, doo wop, barbershop , 40's,50's who remembers the song "little blue man" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MIt96aYFuM. 60/70's cheesy pop, ethnic music,(including Ivan...saw his concert in the late Ladysmith black Mambazo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJF87m4_k88&feature=related70's, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cA2Qw3j2bxw&feature=related *some* country pre adenoid and when they sang. Nearly always music going on. At the Moment Terry Stafford the original http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAYrMsxMKp8. Later he went country http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvEvplTE0VU&feature=PlayList&p=5346059F73F1459B&playnext_from=PL&playnext=1&index=6 is warbling on next is Craig Douglas and 'time' CDhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=697gX7UpvuQ ....ahhhh such soppy unrealistic sentimentality... isn't it nice? My collection is over 1000 recordings singles, Albums, Tapes,CD etc. Posted by examinator, Wednesday, 14 July 2010 6:11:18 PM

Mind you-Given that Ringo looks that way at 70!, there's hope for us all!
He and George were the two I liked.
It's the Stones for me!
