Alongside our 'teak' radiogram (which doubled up into a splendid piece of kitsch furniture) stood one of those ashtrays on a metal stand with a press button on the top. (In a game of I-Spy aged 4, I asked them to name 'something beginning with CM'. After 15 minutes of painful guessing, I announced that the answer was 'Cig Masher').<BR/><BR/>And within a sparse yet hugely influential celtic-tinged record collection with The Dubliners et al, sat a proud (if Watneys Red Barrel stained) copy of 'Come The Seekers'.<BR/><BR/>I still blubber when hearing the mighty 'Carnival Is Over' which Judith Durham sang to her husband as he died of Cancer in more recent times. <BR/><BR/>Sorry, I seem to have gone on a bit! Funny how it just needs a song to re-open these memory banks.<BR/><BR/>Great post.dickvandykehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13590436106154960912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35608056.post-32119190650212062422007-10-07T09:56:00.000+01:002007-10-07T09:56:00.000+01:00Or even 'Les Temps Des Fleurs' by Vicky LeandrosOr even 'Les Temps Des Fleurs' by Vicky LeandrosMickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13086396915055033307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35608056.post-23278440114366970182007-10-07T09:47:00.000+01:002007-10-07T09:47:00.000+01:00How about, 'Songs Based On Russian Folksongs'?
