Sue gets the brownie points! Yes it is a great song but I only like the version done by Richard Harris. It's interesting though that I can't find that version anywhere, not even on i-Tunes 
Diana, do you mean you would like to hear the song? If so I think you should try youTube...all you do is key in the song title andup comes loads of choices. I have only just discoverd this and have been listening to fab songs from many moons ago in the 60s, 70s and 80s that I hadn't heard for donkeys years! |

Marc Bolan's surname was derived from Bob Dylan Pink Floyd's name came from Georgia bluesmen Pink Anderson & Floyd Council Jimi Hendrix played at Newbury, Feb. 1967 and costs 7/6 to see him at The Plaza in Newbury's Market Place; now a major estate agents/auctioneers offices. Backing Tony Sheridan were The Beat Brothers, aka The Beatles. At this time in 1961, they recorded the Harrison-Lennon song " Cry For A Shadow" as a parody of The Shadows; the only Beatles' song credited soley to Harrison-Lennon. |

Obviously a bit of an anorak when it comes to the good music of the 50's, 60's and 70's unlike some of the rubbish performed to day! Well done, there will be plenty who will be able to say oh yes (myself included) now that you have told us the answers. Sue G-R, Thanks for that bit of info, did'nt know that but what are Donkeys Years? Are you from Wales, and did you mean Donkeys EARS? Maybe that Peter can tell us? Lyn, I bet you had to Google it to be sure, and yes for once I put my hands up...I got it wrong! 'G' as in Gerry, rather than 'J' which in fact reminds me, I need to go to the bathroom... |

Never heard of him.......I suspect you had a secret career as wordsmith for The Barron Knights, for surely, only you could have ever thought up..."Ground Control to Ginger Tom"! |

I could see that one Diana, its Paul's new one I was having problems with, sitting there strumming his guitar, but after I loaded it in Internet explorer instead of Firefox and cleaned out the cache and cookies its working fine now. I'm back on Firefox and i'm a happy bunny lol

As it appens ..noooo I didn't google it Ron, and anyway I would have thought a 'P' more appropriate to remind you that you needed the bathroom  |

Now who were the Barron Knights, am I old enough to remember? Good stuff Paul, keep it coming! Diana, regarding the avatar, I think it depends on how much junk you have on your PC. I'll mention it to Chris and Sarah in due course to see if they have any thoughts on the matter. |
