There must be a lot of 60 odds on here,just remembered.............

Mud mud glorious mud, there's nothing quite like it for cooling the blood..

And

Messing about in the river

I'm busy doing nothing, working the whole day through,trying to find lots of things not to do.........


This last one sums up my philosophy on life since I retired. Hence,messing about on here instead of getting some work done.

I well remember Put another Nickle In, but how about, from the same era.
If Id'a Knewd You Were Coming I'da Baked a Cake.
We only had Radio Luxemberg in those days, and only if Dad had had a good week, and we could afford to have the acculator topped up.
Still, Dad use to entertain us with a line of jam jars, filled to different levels with water, which he played with drum sticks. Oh, and yes, he also played his saw.
Then one day, someone gave him an old tea chest, and he lovingly cut out the body of a guitar, don't know what he made the rest from.
We still like music, me and Dad, don't know about the others in the family

I remember sitting on a rug at play group surrounded by children singing "polly put the kettle on' in floods of tears because I wantedto go home ......... I'm not surprised looking back!

The artist I remember liking first was Kylie Minogue I was four.

My parents liked county music so that was nearly always playing in the house. I listened to Iris Dement, Gretchen Peters, Faith Hill and Garth Brooks.

Puff, the magic dragon...............
I'm a pink tooth brush your a blue tooth brush.....
Hands...........
How much is that doggy in the window?
Love and Marriage love and marriage,go together like a horse and carriage.

All the talk of Dolly Parton has sent me down memory lane tonight...love a bit of nostalgia me.

SO got me wondering....songs you remember when you were a child...

My dad was heavily into Country and Western music.

My Mum ws an Elvis fanatic but also a bit of a mod (odd combo i know lol) so I have very varied musical tastes as a result I think.

My ultimate childhood song was An Americian Trilogy By the King himself...played religiously every Sunday morning.
