The Smiling Hour


From the pen of Tony 'Crossroads Theme' Hatch; Britain's Burt Bacharach, or the 70s Simon Cowell.

A davyh vinyl rip (crackles!) from the original Capitol LP.

Love that cover shot!

What would you say to a little drink?

    Peggy Lee. Dublin rhyming slang for gee. Which means..well, not clarified butter.

    i'm afraid it's against the law to not reply 'hello little drink' isn't it...
    never heard peggy singing this neither and it's such a brilliant song. i took the nancy wilson versh to 99psoul but didn't quite manage to slip it in. next time.

    Cripes, Peggy and Brian look rather similar. But then I'm hopped up on pain killers and coffee.

    Early drafts of this post made exactly that point. Great minds/small minds. Pain killers?

    Nice rip by the way. God that sounds shit. But I like an mp3 with real vinyl crackle.

    What ho, Sundown Squadron

    Nice to see you all in the Mess for a post work livener.

    India won again.

    I'm a martyr to my bulging lumbar disc, I'll have you know.

    Peggy and I go back a long way. Scuttled her once; Rendevouz at the Battle Of Britain Ball, on the croquet lawn at Staxton Wold. Grass stains on her cocktail dress.

    I wanted her to say, "You give me Fever" but she coughed, "Is that all there is?" Sassy filly and no mistake.


    Pip pip.

    Yer Grenache is never turps-like arto, but you may experience that 'Eight Euros! For THAT! I prefer the Co-op Basic Red!' moment. And serve you right, frankly.

    Sorry again about the Mediafire. All those pop-ups, can't just listen to it without downloading, etc. Awful.

    On the upside, like SA sez, there are actual crackles on this.

    No blogging here for a few days at least, you'll have to excuse me. Plans for a quiet family half-term overturned by my Mum being taken into hospital on Friday and Dad, not in the best of mental health, not coping too well at home alone. Devon-bound to relieve those on the ground for a bit. Deep breath.

    Don't stop the music x
