The song this week is a song is from a Christmas musical I wrote for Radio City in the 80\u2019s\u2026..this is the demo the cast worked from\u2026..the kids in the play sang the song and the play was broadcast on Christmas day two years on the trot\u2026.it was also nominated for a Sony Award\u2026.the cast included Johnny Kennedy\u2026Paul Damian\u2026the late Joe Butler\u2026Carl Chase\u2026 and others. The song also recorded by Penny Page and Googi on vinyl\u2026.the play went on to be performed by a lot of schools\u2026all good stuff.\n\n\u2026.A friend of mine told me her son and daughter in law went to Rome on their honeymoon\u2026.while they were at the train station he went to sort out the tickets and left her with the cases\u2026she felt water dripping on her head so she looked up\u2026when she looked down the cases had gone\u2026passports the lot \u2026. obviously some moron with a water pistol\u2026. I saw her again this week and she told me the same couple were in Paris over last weekend\u2026with their baby\u2026talk about unlucky\u2026.it\u2019s nice to see the support we are giving to the French during these terrible times\u2026it\u2019s hard to believe it all.\n\n\u2026\u2026\u2026I enjoyed the podcast you sent me with your Albert Lee interview\u2026.he is a great guitarist but as he says there are so many different styles so it\u2019s impossible to be the best \u201coverall\u201d guitarist\u2026Albert is a guitarists guitarist enjoyed mainly by those who know what to listen for\u2026.(the average audience don\u2019t know the difference between Segovia and George Formby)\u2026and his \u201cfirst\u201d instrument is the piano\u2026.so imagine how good he is on that\u2026..to play with the likes of these guys is very special but as I\u2019ve always said you have Vegas\u2026 or the local pub\u2026same pressures different venue.\n\nBut what is nice is the respect you get from these guys\u2026because they don\u2019t need to feed their egos\u2026.they understand the game. \n\nOn the subject of musicians\u2026.Alexander Armstrong (from the \u201cPointless\u201d quiz programme) has decided that he is one\u2026.he keeps appearing on TV going on about how he is a trained musician but decided to take up comedy in his 20\u2019s\u2026Hmm\u2026plays a bit of piano which is O.K. then sings\u2026which makes you realise why he took up comedy. And of course it has to be all the \u201cswing\u201d standards that only the Rat Pack do properly\u2026it\u2019s pretty bad\u2026BUT his album has got into the charts which proves you can kid most of the people most of the time\u2026but he wont make much as he doesn\u2019t write the stuff\u2026then we have Peter Andre with his \u201cswing\u201d album\u2026same stuff\u2026and he\u2019s even worse\u2026.but no doubt the sheep who phone in their votes for \u201cStrictly\u201d will buy it\u2026.give us a break guys\u2026give us something ORIGINAL !!
