[Bobbisox]

so it is!
brilliant childhood memories of this programme LL,
happy innocent stuff

[LoftyLottie]

He was also responsible Bobbi for 90% of the jingles for the first ITV adverts - Murraymints being the one I remember most.

He had a huge grand piano in his music room. I used to babysit for him and he would give me 10shilling!! (a huge amount back in the early 60's!!)

[Bobbisox]

this has really made me think 'nice thought's LL
about Sunday evenings when me and my Mam would cuddle up in their big bed, with the feather mattress..lol, my Dad worked in Electronics back then after leaving the RAF, he constructed a Chrystal radio? for use in the bedroom, no portables then..
Thanks for the wonderful memories LL xxx

[LoftyLottie]

Music has always meant a lot in our family too Bobbi. I couldn't live without it. xx

[LoftyLottie]

I remember my first little portable transistor radio - Radio Luxemburg every night until about 1.00am!!

[Bobbisox]

me too, I adore music of most genres

[paddywak]

Dad only ever went out for a drink on Sunday evening but he would never go out till it finished bobbi, we used to sit round the table playing snap or something an sing along. Kids nowadays would probably laugh but they were happy days

Funnily enough only the other day I was looking at family photos and he was in one of them, at his youngest daughter's wedding.

He is gone now :o(.

He was a lovely, lovely man and so talented.

Nice memories Paddywak.

[Bobbisox]

Ohh Padds, thank you so much :-)

[paddywak]

Well ladies, at the risk of sounding a bit hackneyed but they just make them like that any more

[Bobbisox]

Like Lottie, I loved my wee transistor with the little ear-pieces :-)
Radio Luxembourg's top 20 on Sunday Night...magic!

[Bobbisox]

just playing some music as I am on here
100 hits of the 50s...
I was listening to Bibbedy Bobbedy Boo...
Oh my God..they most certainly do not make em like that...anymore..thankfully, tried finding it on YT..but can't :-(

[LoftyLottie]

Off now. Thanks for the thread Bobbs.

Leave you with this!!

wonderful...many thanks LL.. :-)

[paddywak]

I've just been ordered to stop messing about as we're off to meet my sister so I'll see you later. You're right bobbi you tend to look back through rose tinted glasses but like today's music some of it was great but some of it was really terrible

[Bobbisox]

too right Padds, enjoy you day :-)

[paddywak]

Is what you wanted bobbi
