The heatwave has struck again....so the hosepipe bans
are back....not to mention the empty reservoirs....the
news is having a field day scaring everyone.
Then we have the rising cost of our energy bills with
the news telling us we could not only starve because
we wont be able to afford food....we will also
freeze......how did we survive when we were young
with no central heating etc?
The main supermarkets are doing their bit....they have
stopped selling those disposable barbecues.....which
will prevent careless picnickers setting the country on
fire.......I wonder which items on their shelves will
quietly increase to cover their losses.
In between the blanket athletic sport we have the return
of the football.....withManchester noted bottom of the
table with Everton close by.....I'd rather watch the young
lady gymnasts showing the world what REAL talent
is......Man U. should sign one of them up as a goalie.
I watched a fascinating documentary on ABBA with an
in depth chat with Agnetha.....the band produced a lot of
masterpieces and for my money were top of the tree.
The song this week is a classic which Ricky Nelson
recorded back in the 50s.....it was known for it's great
guitar solo by James Burton who played on all of
Ricky's early hits prior to him joining Elvis in
Vegas.....around 2008 James came over here to tour
and I had the opportunity to join him in concert singing
a selection of Ricky Nelson Hits......he then came over
each year and I did 8 concerts with him over the years
and we became good mates.....this is a live recording of
one of the concerts as we launch into "Hello Mary Lou"
