        Thats me all time favourite Bill. I was ten when he made that but it was still being played occasionally when I was 20. My uncle Jack and Chuck would burst into that. Warbling away when they were pissed up

            End of the seventies beginning of the eighties .... began the death of common sense. Actually the meddling began in 63 when they told you who you had to sell your house to.

              Being just a young lad, all that is well before my time. I recall this one though, possibly the greatest song ever written.
              I have always set myself a very low standard, and constantly fail to achieve it.

                  I shall recommend it to him, Tone. In his spare time, he sings in a Lincon Park tribute band, they are a pretty big US rap band. They just got booked for a big festival in Singapore. All flights, hotels, food, booze etc provided, plus well paid. Just shows, you are better off just doing covers, than your own songs.
