This week i took a nice short ride to Otley,24 miles all in all.i visited a music shop,you could call it a second

hand shop,but i would call it a nostalgia shop.So what caught my eye was a cd,for the bargain price of £2.
One of my favourite artists,Dame Vera Lynn.Title, We'll meet again,20 songs that saw the lads through the War.They are the original recordings juiced up a bit.You can tell her voice is still young.I have got it playing now,wonderful.

Not laughing - my mum (who was a nipper in the war) used to buy CDs like that to listen to while she did the ironing.

While I must admit to not being a Vera Lynn fan there are some bargains about, I paid 50p at the Earlsdon Festival last Monday for a CD of Rock & Roll Ballard's, 50's stuff, and its excellent.

I did a job a few years ago where she was a guest of some politician at a dinner. I heard some wag say, "feck me is that Vera Lynn? Quick lads... under the table before it all kicks off."

From Wikipedia

"On 13 September 2009 Lynn became the oldest living artist to make it into No. 1 in the British album chart, at the age of 92, passing such veterans of music as American jazz trumpeter Louis Armstrong and French singer Charles Aznavour. Her collection We'll Meet Again: The Very Best of Vera Lynn entered the chart at number 20 on 30 August, and then climbed to number 2 the following week, before reaching the top position, outselling both the Arctic Monkeys and the Beatles. In its third week the album went gold with sales of over 100,000"

That an immediate burial won't cure.

Sack the creator of the CD cover.

75014 is a British Railways 4MT locomotive built in 1951 and couldn't possibly be part of the war era depicted on the cover.

It's about bloody time people stopped harking back to WW2 as representing something lost. It was a war FFS, and we learned bugger all from it as we still send countless numbers of our youth to die and kill the youth of other countries, and sometimes even the women and children as well. But let's all sing along to this crap.

I hope that the talented George Formby isn't targetted by your vitriol.

Spotted three weeks ago in Bray en Lu while cycling along the Avenue Verte....

His last 'three score years and ten' have been spent in the darkness of the earth.
