The Sixties
Posted Apr 9, 2008
The young kids of today must be fed up with us wrinklies talking about the good old days of the sixties with the Beatles, The Stones, The Who etc.
The thing is though two of the groups mentioned, The Stones and the Who are still doing the rounds with a great following of both young and old. And the Beatles are still the most talked about Pop Music phenomenon along with Elvis Presley of all time.
Most of the artistes of the eighties have long since disappeared and despite come back tours which had to be cancelled due to lack of support even some of the nineties stars have faded into oblivion.

Genealogy
Posted Feb 27, 2008
Ever since Christmas 2007, just before actually, I have been finding more out about my family and ancestors. I sent an email to the "Stage" requesting words and music to the song "Nosey Parker" and from this I have received such a remarkable response. Although I did not get the words and music required, at first, I did receive a response from a cousin I did not know I had. Sylvia is the grand Daughter of Happy Tom Parker, who sang "Nosey Parker" on the music hall stages throughout the country. I also received an email suggesting I try the Bodleian Library at Oxford for a copy of the song, they even gave me a telephone number to call. I called and in less than a week I received a copy of the words and music to the song. I am now in the process of learning the words and tune in order to sing it at my local folk club.
