As I was reading your post I was thinking about listening to Luxembourg and being told that Elvis was dead - and then I see that LuLalabibaby @ Dreaming of The Simple Life had written exactly the same thing.<br />60's will be good as they were the records of my parents - Val Doonican, the sound of music - AHH memories.<br />Love these posts.

I've always loved the song 'Mandy' and I'm lucky enough to have seen Barry Manilow perform it live at Sheffield Arena a few years ago. My friend and I were not really that keen on him but the son of my American friend knew one of Barry Manilow's sound crew and got me free tickets three rows from the centre front. We loved every minute, he's a fantastic performer with a lovely sense of humour and I've been a fan of his ever since.Rowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679130612798888266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7602197958070805605.post-7090739129781345382010-09-29T09:49:20.724+01:002010-09-29T09:49:20.724+01:00Not sure what happened yesterday but I can say I&#...Not sure what happened yesterday but I can say I've been singing 'Could it be Forever' for the last two.
