Yeah well I do have it, just haven't listened to it. Yet. Which reminds me...

Troll, I hate to say it bro, but having never heard Close To The Edge is a farrrrrr worse crime than a prog fan not owning Selling England By The Pound. Even my old mates Tore and Booboo would agree on that.

Yeah, young people don't realise that being a grumpy old git is an artform that takes years of practise. It won't be long before you're telling them to pull their trousers up and reminding them they would be warmer in a sensible coat.

Happy Fiftieth Birthday, Trollheart!

Isn´t it time you put aside all that progressive music and listened to something more age-appropriate ?

Happy Birthday TH

Thanks guys! And Lisnaholic, I'm 50 not 150!

I don't think Val Doonican will ever be for me. I'm more a Perry Como sorta guy...

I met Val Doonican at a village fete when I was a child. He was a big name in the sixties, but was approachable and friendly. The Irish probably don't care for those novelty songs, but I liked them a lot.

Hey! Fancy that! Did you used to watch his tv shows? He had a prime-time weekend slot for years as I recall. I never took to his music, but even on tv he came across as a decent guy and a real professional.
