day four


oh where do i start...

"a song that makes you sad"

today maybe this will do cos i've just got off of the phone to my dear old dad and these days i'm full to bursting with the terror of him not being about with the terror of how terrifying it must be to be counting down the time the oh my... sorry and all but you know you know... we're that age is all. this is one of his songs one that i can never hear without him stamped right through it. cue floods...

he's still here bless the dear old dear in case there was any confusion still ringing up with terrible jokes
"we had a bump in the car this morning. the chap in the other car got out and he was furious. tiny chap he was. 'i'm not happy' he said. 'well which one are you then'....

Boom-tish! He's here all week.

That's a lovely song to be your dad's theme tune. And, come the day when he isn't around any longer, he'll have left you an ear for a good tune, an eye for a picture, and a daft sense of humour. Got to thank him for that.

Larry Adler playing 'Stardust' is that one that reminds me of my dad.

Late to this; but, oh, so much good here, for all of us, and so much where this came from.
