KISS: I’ve heard of the band. I knew that one of their members also works as a financial adviser. I never knew what songs they had actually written – until last week, when my new colleague told about this one. Long live those painted faces!
To me… to you… Men are just boys in long trousers. It is true. Me, ever since I was a tweenager. Even now I’m a big fan of them and their simple/simplistic catchphrase: “To me… to you…” Back in England I used to test if friends or colleagues were fans by handing them a drink […]

On my day off earlier this week I was traversing Düsseldorf Hauptbahnhof, when much to my surprise, I found the bookshop sold Private Eye satirical, humour and investigative journalism magazine magazine, albeit for €5.20, twice the UK price, but worth every cent. Trebles all round! I was not tired and emotional… The latest edition is […]
I love the ukelele. I love George Formby. Now sit back and listen to this fine version of my favourite song of his. Long live me little stick of Blackpool rock!
Georgie Fame has a very distinctive voice. At the other end of this scale, so did Christopher Cross. I haven’t heard this one on t’radio for years. Such a pity, too. Long live New York City!
