Still Not Believing......

The song this week is the continuing saga of the musical I wrote for Radio City back in the 80s.\n\nSo up to now Jimmy,who doesn\u2019t believe in Father Christmas,wakes up to find he\u2019s got no presents\u2026.so he sings \u201cThere\u2019s No \nSanta Claus\u201d (which you played a couple of weeks ago)\u2026he then hot foots it around to his mate\u2019s house to prove his point\u2026on \nthe way he meets the milkman who tries to convince him he\u2019s wrong and sings \u201cIf you don\u2019t believe in Father Christmas\u201d (which \nyou played last week)\u2026he then continues on his way and bumps into the postman\u2026played by the late Joe Butler\u2026.who sings this \nlament \u201cLetter Box Blues\u201d\u2026.the demo is very basic as a lot of schools wanted to do the play so I arranged the songs to suit a \nsingle piano.\n\n The Lake District has taken a hammering with the recent storms and floods\u2026.I was up in Kendal last week\u2026.just got out in time.\nAs usual there HAS to be someone to blame\u2026.if it\u2019s not the Government for not spending out on flood defences it\u2019s climate \nchange\u2026.next it\u2019ll be diesel cars polluting the atmosphere\u2026..there doesn\u2019t seem to be an answer\u2026.the locals don\u2019t want the flood \nbarriers too high because it will effect their view \u2026so where do you go\u2026.what seems to be lacking is the safety side of it\u2026.people \nwandering down flooded streets should have a stick or a branch to make sure they are not going to step down a grid and break \ntheir leg\u2026.but I do feel sorry for the locals\u2026what a mess.\n\n\nTyson Fury has upset the applecart with his comments about women and gays\u2026.I don\u2019t know why these guys don\u2019t just sit back \nand enjoy being champion of the world and keep their mouths shut\u2026.his father was bawling and shouting at an interview saying \npeople should now bow down to him\u2026.it\u2019s all a question of intellect I suppose\u2026he is heavyweight champion of the world (at the \nmoment)\u2026.don\u2019t spoil it all by trying to be funny and clever\u2026.there\u2019s a move afoot to remove him from Sportsman of the Year \u2013 \nmight teach him a lesson. I remember when Daley Thompson won it and got up to make his speech and said an unnecessary \nrude word\u2026and quickly corrected himself\u2026.obviously to amuse his mates\u2026.didn\u2019t see a lot more of him after that\u2026silly boy.\n\n\nThere has also been a news report about football refs being verbally and physically abused by fans and players\u2026.it\u2019s \ndisgraceful\u2026.when you compare it with rugby\u2026talk back to the ref and you are off!!...why can\u2019t they do this with football\u2026..\nperfectly describes the difference in mentality\u2026.the football fraternity are too busy shovelling money into their bank accounts\u2026..\nand footballers are getting a bit too big for their boots\u2026.so to speak\u2026\u2026they should learn to respect those who put them where \nthey are.\n\n watched the Royal Command Performance during a baby sitting session\u2026.so there was no escape\u2026.OH DEAR.\nI thought One Direction were about as exciting as watching archery\u2026.and the comedians proved that comedy is DEAD and \nBURIED\u2026..Jeff Lynne stole the show\u2026which wasn\u2019t difficult as the rest of it was awful\u2026definitely time for old Elton to call it a \nday\u2026.and a bucket should be supplied for the constant creeping up to the royalty\u2026and making \u201crisky\u201d jokes\u2026.sad.\n\nEven little Kylie was pretty bad (miming I think)\u2026.it was just dreadful\u2026at least Sir Brucie and Sir Terry weren\u2019t involved\u2026.that was \none blessing.
