Yawn Yawn, wakey wakey !! 2015 mk 2

Good morning to everyone from a very damp Lykewakewalker and Bailey. Fog again this morning and it is the kind that wets you through, the only blessing is that it is quite mild out.

I remember it well @shiney, only 200 years ago was it? My old dad used to call him "the whistling fool", I don't think that he was too keen on him.

 

Good morning all from a wet Lykewakewalker and Bailey. The fog is worse this morning than at any time this week and it is the kind that wets you through, good job that it is quite warm.

I remember it well @shiney, was it only 200 years ago? My old dad used to call him "the whistling fool", I don't think he was too impressed with him!
Have a good day all.

 

I quite liked him myself, however I did prefer Burl Ives. It was my dad who didn't like him, he loved what he called "proper singers" such as Josef Locke.

 

Yes he did. As a very young teenager I was part of a group called The Green Grass Boys, we did a couple of Burl Ives numbers including Big Rock Candy Mountain, I remember that in our adolescent way we thought it was funny to swap the first letter of a couple of the title words while we were singing . I played the drums (actually drum, I only had a snare and a hi hat) Our claim to fame was that our guitarists guitar was borrowed by a local group and appeared with them on Opportunity Knocks, they didn't win but I don't think it was the guitars fault.
Those early days gave me a love of country style music that I still have.

 

@shiney, We are in danger of changing the whole direction of Wakey Wakey so I will make this my last post.
Like you I enjoy all music, my favourite male singer is Nat King Cole and Rita Coolidge is my favourite female artiste.
Having said that I can be seen with the best of them singing along at The Last Night of the Proms and I am a firm believer that the 60's will never be surpassed for popular music. We, along with lots of others I suspect, have truly catholic musical tastes.

 

Okay, it is 8 pm here, or 1 am your time. So, wakey wakey, in 4 or 5 hours.

I will be starting my "keep up the good work" conversations with my veggie plants. We're not expected to go below freezing unti lthe end of the month. Sooo excited that my brussel sprouts might produce. Newbie at this and just love my cole vegetables.
so, as your feet hit the floor, know that I am slumbering and dreaming about getting out there tòo!

 

Good morning @CanadianLori. @wiseowl and everyone else.
A foggy start again here but the sun should burn through later.
Have a good day all.

 

Good Morning all,

WOO hope you are feeling better these days and keeping your feathers dry!
Going to be another lovely day I think. Have a good day all,
God bless.
